Ivy covers the west bank at the upstream end of the site.  Narrow verge coverage of native trees and bushes, flanked by paths and mown grass.

Overstorey predominantly native (revegetated) provides extensive cover and shading across channel but understorey is very weedy.  Frequent large clumps of instream vegetation.   Sand and gravel substrate with introduced large boulders creating riffles and controlling erosion.  Banks largely protected but some erosion on northern bank.  High flow event within last week increased depth to ~0.5m which has flushed leaf litter from low banks.

Very little in-stream vegetation, and continued deposition of sand and gravel along the site-area stream bed.  Erosion appears more extensive than last year. 

Erosion along North bank has increased, vegetation cover along N bank and verge affected by deposits of sand/gravel. Verge vegetation still very weedy.

23 July 2017:  There is still very little in-stream vegetation. Verge vegetation very weedy (Tradescantia etc). Spot erosion still apparent.
