Habitat

The Creek's habitat has not been disturbed for years and over the creek's length through the property. Gas line duplication works during the summer months left no damage to the creek crossing. There is some localised evidence to bank erosion by live stock and by earlier floods. Near my house I fortified the steep bank with logs against further erosion. I also created a branch and twig dam by means of star posts which increased the depth and surface area of the pool nearest to the house.
