On Thursday the 11th of September, Stephen, JP, Heavila, Gabriel and
Bridget went to Clearview Place to test out the water in Brookvale
Creek. We tested it for PH, Temperature, Turbidity, and Salinity. The
PH was 8, the temperature was 15 degrees C, the turbidity was 7 and the
salinity was 272. The water was looking clear and running fine.
The next site we went to was Pittwater Road. The PH was 8, the
temperature was 15, the turbidity was 7 and the salinity was 260. The
water looked a bit mucky but it was still ok.

On Thursday the 11th of September JP, Heavila, Gabriel, Bridget and I
went to Clearview Place by car to do Streamwatch. Streamwatch is where
you test out the water for PH, Temperature, Turbidity and Salinity.
When we got to Clearview Place Mr. Taylor told us our jobs and we went
down to the creek. JP and Heavila tested Turbidity, Gabriel tested
Salinity, Bridget tested PH and I tested temperature.
The next place was Pittwater Rd where we all changed jobs then climbed
down onto the rocks to test the water and Heavila had to get to the
rock right near creek then we went back to school.
