September 2001: Dam in headwaters of Musk Creek.
Hancock Watch Site Visit September 01: Small pine plantation, with some hardwoods, established in 1992 on what would most likely to be cleared farmland just south of the village of Willung South. The plantations’ western side has been established in the headwaters Musk Creek which flows into Toms Cap Creek. A dam is located in the headwaters. It appears that indigenous vegetation including possibly old growth trees has been retained along a portion of Musk Creek. This plantation was not walked and was observed from the Hyland Highway.
Bruthen Creek, Carrajung South - Above Reedy Creek: A fast flowing water with good pools, gravel bed. Access restricted by private property and difficult terrain. Contains predominately brown trout and some rainbow trout, both species averaging 200g, some fish to 450g and eels.
