Estuary event details

Estuary	Painkalac Creek Estuary
Region	Corangamite CMA
Event type	Unusual/Extraordinary occurrence!
Date and time	27 July 2013 11:02am
Description	Barbara & I went to see the Inlet yesterday ¿ Saturday, and caught the tide at almost exactly High! I've attached some photos of the situation then. The estuary was still officially closed and not perched as the water just coming over the berm was incoming from the tide. A few minutes later no water came over so we believed the tide had turned. We checked the AHD at the bridge - that was 1.75m. All this was very interesting to us as we'd never seen this before. Regards Dennis
