Thanks guys, and yes what a massive berm present...  Very early days, but given this berm is already over 2m in height, I envisage that we'll need to open the system later in the season once rainfall hopefully arrives.  Thanks Jarred.

Silver gull, Swans, Australian grebes, Musk ducks.

Hi everyone.  Fantastic images of the storm front, and yes wow what a massive beach berm/sand bar at present; one of the largest & highest i've seen in some time I think.   The power of the souther ocean and onshore winds!  Thanks Jarred.

Great data everyone - very large berm!

Dead juvenile jellyfish? at waters edge, Masked Lapwings, Red Capped Plovers 2.

Jarred - cracking weather & great photos.  The jellyfish you've noted are commonly known as 'By the wind Sailors'.  We've seen huge numbers turned up as discussed at lunch afterwards.  Thanks! 

Took out Sth African Beach Daisy

J.Obst - nice work on the weed removal; a lot of this around unfortunately.  Very interesting photos too which show the old flow channel vs the impact of weed invasion on the undisturbed or 'old' part of the sand bar.
