Local Environmental Conditions
River oak grows along the bank here, releasing fine wind-borne pollen typical of casuarina species, within the neighborhood. Nearby, just outside the immediate area, tree cover made up mostly of eucalypt and wattle, wattle in particular a well-known seasonal trigger. The broader area tends to mirror this pattern, with only minor local variation.
Around Dibbins Hut, along the waterway, river oak releases pollen first, climbing steadily from mid-winter into September. The nearby eucalypt and wattle stands take the lead as winter turns to spring, usually hitting its highest point sometime between mid-August and mid-September. Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through spring, peaking in November, then holding at a high level well into January before easing off.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
