Notes
The Estuary this fortnight is completely different from any thing I've seen before. The sand has been taken away from around the caravan park leaving a cliff like edge. The sand under the bridge has formed a beach going all the way to the playground. The river itself is very clear, fast flowing but very narrow. River rocks are very visible from the bridge up the river. The water level gauge is a long way from any water and you can see the pylons which we think are from the very original bridge. The main beach is very large.
