Local Environmental Conditions
The nearest creek or river hosts river oak, among the most allergenic wind-pollinated trees found on watercourses; this sits a short distance from here. Here, close to this spot, woods composed largely of eucalypt with wattle at the margins, a combination tied to sharp late-winter pollen spikes. This area, in the surrounding area, has parkland with regularly mown grass and planted plane trees, both sources of seasonal pollen.
For Racecourse Beach Tourist Park, the water-adjacent river oak is an early riser, climbing steadily from mid-winter into September. Eucalypt and wattle in the woods pick up where river oak leaves off, reaching its high point through August and into October. Grass pollen builds through spring and peaks in November, 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. |
