Notes

Strong sewage smell upstream at riffle and here. Alison and I had wondered if the smell we have been reporting had come from the manhole on Monteith and not the creek. But today there's no smell at the manhole and definitely from the creek.
Water height at riffle gauge is 42.
It's high here but not up the bank so I'm calling it average.
