Habitat

Today we had to find a new site due to the previous site being inundated with vegetation & severely flow restricted. The sand bar has grown to create a stagnant pool that has completely changed the creek flow. The new site is now opposite the Little Albert daycare centre (100m N of the previous site). NB the drain is S of our site.
