While we were in Australia, we also spent a fair bit of time at the river.
Howard desperately wanted to find more fish, and he religiously checked and re-checked his minnow traps every day.
After much checking and rechecking and checking again, he struck gold: a flathead gudgeon.
And while we were there, we found some other interesting creatures....
Like this tiny snail...
And this little freshwater shrimp....
And a tiny little crab!
The Hopkins is teeming with life!
We completed our science nerdery with some water quality testing thanks to Mum's old test kit. We are happy to report that everything looked pretty normal (apart from Howard swimming in the river).
