In 1997, Helensburgh and District Landcare Group committed to being involved in Streamwatch for three years. We selected four local creeks and we had eight volunteers. A team of two volunteers went out each weekend to test their nominated creek. This meant that each of the four creeks was tested monthly (with a few misses) for three years.
The then Hacking Catchment Management Committee provided the funding for the Streamwatch kit. At the end of the three years, the kit was passed onto a high school in the Sutherland Shire for student involvement in Streamwatch.
We present the raw data for Camp Creek, Gills Creek, Kellys Creek and Wilsons Creek and also rainfall figures for the three years as recorded by one of our members.
