Water quality in the Nattai

Postby Huntsman247 » Tue 18 Jul, 2023 1:38 pm

Hi all,

What's the general consensus in regards water quality in the Nattai around Russ' needle?

To filter or not to filter?

Cheers.

If you drink the side creek branching off to the west just before the Needle, it should be good.

Most of the other larger creeks nearby eg Rocky Waterholes, drain off urban areas - so roll your dice...

Agree, drink from a side creek, not the Nattai.
