Local Environmental Conditions

Nearby, in the surrounding area, woodland where eucalypt stands alongside wattle, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen when in full flower. Neighboring areas with similar land cover tend to show a closely matching pollen mix.
The bank's river oak kicks off the pollen season ahead of the rest, usually peaking sometime between July and September. The woodland's eucalypt and wattle trees become the main pollen source as wattle flowers, usually hitting its highest point sometime between mid-August and mid-September. Through spring, grass pollen climbs steadily toward its November peak, before staying elevated through the summer months into late January.

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. |
