Here, within the neighborhood's edge, water here is bordered by river oak, a casuarina species known for prolific, far-carrying pollen. Tree cover made up mostly of eucalypt and wattle, wattle in particular a well-known seasonal trigger; this sits a short distance from here. Ground-level conditions like local landscaping can nudge these figures slightly either way.
Around Rocket Lake Camping Area, the bank's river oak kicks off the pollen season ahead of the rest, climbing steadily from mid-winter into September. The nearby eucalypt and wattle stands take the lead as winter turns to spring, usually peaking from August into October. As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its November high, with levels staying elevated into the new year before finally easing off.

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. |
