Hach Multifunction meter did not register one of the probes when tested.  We tested with one probe in the functioning side of the meter, then connected the other probe into the functioning port.

Thanks for re-securing the upper section of the Height Gauge

However, the lower section of the Height Gauge is covered by coral, and could not be read.

I have scaled the height on my computer

#15384 4 Apr 2023 Approved Notes:

the great variety of weathers occurring over the past weeks has made it impossible to give a Mode weather report.

The photos of the height gauge show that the height gauge is coming adrift from the bridge pylon, and needs to be re-secured.

The Height Gauge on the Bridge at Peterborough needs repair. The top half of the gauge is coming adrift.  See attached photo.

We are using our last container of calibration Solution for the Hach Meter.  Additional supplies will be required soon.

Adam Nash participated in our monitoring session, but I was not able to list him on the website as a participant.  Could you please modify the list of "Samplers" to include our new members, and to delete those names of people that we have not heard from for several years.

Height Gauge readings could not be read from the Gauge because of 'gunk' and coral on the normally underwater areas.  Readings will be scaled from photographs taken.

Sea has been coming over the Berm in recent days, including last night.

Thick sludge thick with blue-green algea is on parts of the river surface.

Algae is throughout all levels of the water at the test site, and elsewhere.

Done as a training session to introduce Adam Nash and Priscilla Hough-davies to the procedures of monitoring.

#14581 5 Apr 2022 Approved Notes:

Bad blue-green algae present in the river.

Very unpleasant odour.  Caravan Park has few customers, Dean says they arrive, smell the odour, have a look at the river and cancel their booking.

Local residents have organised a meeting at the Dory Street Boat Ramp at 10.00am on Sunday next to highlight the problem.

The local eel catcher has put a video on facebook of his trip down the river, showing large numbers of dead fish near the banks.  He plans to do another video next Saturday. It has been publicised on the Port Campbell Beacon website, and on the "Peterborough Press" facebook page.

Sorry about the photo upside down.  I tried to rotate it, but could not. You may have better luck.  If not, I can send you the photo.

#14267 27 Aug 2021 Approved Notes:

I undertook this Mouth Condition Monitoring mainly because at the popular swimming hole :"The Men's Pool", shown in photo CUP1-4, one of the rocks surrounding the pool broke in half some years ago and slowly moved away from the other half.

This rock has further broken up a few days ago
