Great images and good to see the mouth remaining open after a barrage of recent swells. Great bird observations too, Thanks Jarred.     |

Great work on the recent observations. Interesting to note that streamflows are still being maintained (just!) after basically five months of very little to no rain. Luckily we haven't had a lot of swells of late, and sand/sediment at the mouth subsequently remains quite low (shown by the bridge footings still well exposed in images 3 & 4). Big seas will however arrive at some stage, and if this happens prior to rainfall and streamflows, the mouth could naturally close. Will be a good one to keep an eye on! Looks like the weather turned it on too! Thanks Jarred. |
