Good afternoon all,
At midday today I did a standard 20 minute survey at what I have called for years the “McKellar Pond” opposite the junction of Baldwin and William Slim Drives just below the enclosed soccer ground. Usually I park on the road easement and walk to the site via the cycle underpass. Today however I came from a different direction and because of traffic on my rear end I couldn’t stop and get off William Slim so went around through McKellar and entered off William Webb (not Slim) Drive. Coming in this way I discovered there is a second, smaller pond in the area bounded by Jeanne Young Crct, Kitty McEwin Crct and a third road I didn’t get the name of. Does anyone know if this second pond has any sort of (official?) name. For the sake of filling in the form for the blitz – I did do a standard survey here - I will call it “Little McKellar Pond”. It was quite a productive site but like the larger “McKellar Pond is desperately in need of a good rubbish clean up as it obviously traps all the local storm water debris.
Cheers,
Mark
