Freshwater Creek is a popular creek for locals to swim in, running down stream from Crystal Cascades 15-20kms from Cains city centre in the hills down through Redlynch Valley and flows through to the Barron River, it has shallow running streams that fall into deep pools, that is what I concentrated on in this video, the deeper pockets are home to larger fish like Sooty Grunter (Hephaestus fuliginosus), Jungle Perch (Kuhlia rupestris), Oxeye Herring also known as Tarpon (Megalops cyprinoides), and large Mouth Almighty (Glossamia aprion), some of the larger predatory fish, then in the shallows fish like Eastern Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia splendida subsp. splendida), Pacific Blue-eye (Pseudomugil signifer), Eel-tailed catfish (Tandanus tandanus), and nice little bottom dwellers like the Roman-Nose Goby (Awaous acritosus), the turtle in the video is a Saw-shelled Turtle (Wollumbinia latisternum), for more information on these species I have put links bellow.
