THREATENED FISH NOTES - BROKEN RIVER: Downstream of Nillacootie there is a remnant population of Macquarie Perch. Yellow Belly and Murray Cod are also stocked into the Broken River. Holland and Ryans creek both have populations of Macquarie Perch especially in Holland Creek. In regard to Ryans Creek above Loombah Weir it is the first time that a stocked population of Trout Cod has been found to be spawning.

Hancock Watch Site visit Mar 01: Bad maps made this plantation difficult to get proper readings from. However there was a large area of native vegetation on the eastern edge of the plantation which appeared to have been spared from pine establishment. Also saw some native vegetation buffers on what appeared to be Baddaganninie Creek which flows north through the village of Warrenbayne. Did not see evidence of clearance of native vegetation.
April 03: Recent clearfell logging alongside Warrenbayne Creek.
Hancock Watch April 03: Drove through this plantation along D Road. Large clearfelling had been taking place along Warrenbayne Creek. Breaches to the Code were not observed, although the scale of the clearfelling is still on quite a massive scale.
Broken River: Lake Nillahcootie to Benella: Flows through open grazing country in a series of runs and deep pools, gravel beds. Below Swanpool the river becomes more sluggish with a mud and sand bed. Very badly silted from its junction with the Moonee Creek. Moonee Creek to Benella Creek. Contains brown trout average 220g, maximum 800g, with carp and abundant small redfin 450g further downstream, some golden perch above Swanpool, and some spiny freshwater crayfish. Stocked by the Department with Macquarie Perch but the species has not yet become established.
