<strong>Cockrone</strong> Creek located to the south west is the main feeder stream of <strong>Cockrone</strong> <strong>Lagoon</strong>. This<br />
creek has a catchment of approximately 2.345m².<br />
The creek was rst surveyed at (POI012). Here the creek looked good with tannin stained water in<br />
swamps and pools to the north of The Scenic Drive (WPT011), but orange brown sediments and<br />
clear water on the south side draining under The Scenic Drive into <strong>Cockrone</strong> Creek (WPT010).<br />

By (WPT009) we had gently owing water with high clarity and deep iron bacteria sediments and<br />
oc coatings up to 50 mm thick. Despite our best efforts no sign of life in the water at all.<br />
