<strong>Cockrone</strong> Creek was sampled further down (POI013). Iron bacteria coatings were reduced and the<br />
stream was wider and deeper with some turbidity. The riparian zone was rainforest and the whole<br />
area looked a lot better. We did nd freshwater snails, which was a good sign as well as a few<br />
macroinvertebrates. No other sh, eels or shrimp were located but all expected to be in this area.<br />

A side stream/drain was sampled at (POI014). Some macroinvertebrates (water beetles and one<br />
mudeye) was captured at this site. The roadside deeper drains had ooded grasses, soft reeds and<br />
lamentous algae and looked promising but biodiversity was very low.<br />
