Photo included of brush pile @fishing platforms car park - it continues to grow!!. Berm opposite fishing platform is quite high with colonizing vegetation well established. No evidence of wash over by waves. The Algae mat noted last month is now senescing. The river moouth opening, though wide, is shallow inhibiting water flow either in or out. Mouth would be CLOSED at low tide. We have enclosed a copy of a letter addressed to Otway Coast Committee regarding the brush dumping at the car park, for your information.
