River appears to be quite turbid, and according to online data (streamflow gauge 410024), there has not been a significant flow pulse. Anyone have some insights? Was there rainfall in the catchment yesterday/last night?

Hi Dan, My apologises, I've updated the sighting update as it was actually filmed on 10 Jan 2024. The images attached are snap shots of the video. There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to upload the video unfortunately.
