Measured water quality variables are reported for surface water from a permanent sampling site on Robson Creek, Far North Queensland. The variables include major cations and anions, trace heavy metals, solids (suspended and total) inorganic and organic nitrogen and phosphorus. 
Credit
We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. This project was funded by the Queensland Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) and Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIISRTE). 
Purpose
This data is sampled to monitor the baseline water quality of an upper catchment stream in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Rainforests, specifically, a highland location in the Lamb Range, Atherton Tablelands. Data can be used to evaluate changes in water quality as a result of climate change and other disturbance factors in this relatively pristine environment.
