Crystal Creek
Crystal Creek is a tributary of McCarrs Creek. As its name suggests, Crystal Creek is a comparatively pristine waterway within the McCarrs Creek Catchment. This sub-catchment is small and undeveloped, lying completely within the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, and is therefore relatively undisturbed. This site begins as a shallow six metre pool then drops twenty metres down a waterfall into another shallow pool. It contains many smaller rock pools which are home to Freshwater Crayfish although we were unable to find any. McCarrs Creek Road crosses over Crystal Creek downstream of the testing site, therefore stormwater runoff is minimal.
