#6661	31 Jan 2012	Approved	Notes: Rainfall in last 48 hours 1.2 mm Air Pressure 1015 hPa A low berm is now well established across estuary mouth. At peak high tide large breakers pour over the shallow berm. BmP1.1 Seaward view of Estuary mouth , and low berm blocking mouth BmP1.2 View of River upstream of mouth, and low berm blocking mouth. BmP2.1 View across fishing platform showing high water level due to closed estuary mouth
#6501	30 Dec 2011	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours : nil, Atmospheric Pressure 1020 hPa. Though the estuary mouth was closed, a very shallow berm blocked the mouth. At higher tides than 1.4m waves would break over the berm and raise the river level close to the mouth. Water staining on sandy river bank supports this supposition. BmP1.1 view of seaward side of estuary mouth BmP1.2 view upstream from river mouth showing shallow berm blocking river mouth BmP2.1 across river at fishing platform, flooded by blocked flow due to closed mouth
#6401	1 Dec 2011	Approved	Notes: Rainfall in last 48 hrs 8 mm, Catchment rainfall in last 48 hrs 18 mm. Atmospheric pressure 1027 hPa. River lower than usual. Gauge covered in mud to approx. 0.5 m. Water level just below this visible reading. Tidal flow inwards from the mouth approx. 30 m upstream. BmP1.1 Seaward side of estuary mouth BmP1.2 View upstream of estuary mouth BmP2.1 view across river at Bridge fishing platform
#6281	31 Oct 2011	Approved	Notes: Atmospheric Pressure 1026.7 hPa Rainfall last 48 hours 2.8 mm Site of Photopoint BmP1 relocated close to hole #6 of golf course, on walking track, at far corner of fence, opposite post #00B. Selected with approval Rose Herben. Vegetation growth was obscuring view at old photopoint site. BmP1.1 mouth of estuary BmP1.2 Upstream of estuary mouth BmP2.1 At bridge photopoint, looking across river at fishing platform
#6161	1 Oct 2011	Approved	Notes: Atmospheric Pressure 1010.5 hPa, Rainfall over last 48 hours (local) 23.6mm. Heavier Rainfall in the Otway ranges and catchment >40 mm. River full to banks carrying loads of brown sediment out to sea. Tidal influence would be minimal - high tide of 1.7 m overnight would have impeded outflow of river slightly, and again at 13.50 pm BmP1.1 River mouth BmP1.2 upstream from mouth BmP2.1 across river from fishing platform
#6022	31 Aug 2011	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 2.6 mm, Atmospheric Pressure 1027 hPa. River flow was downstream at the bridge. Waves at river mouth moved upstream about 30 metres. Turbidity of river was very low due to low rainfall over last 3 weeks, and lack of sedimentation from mountain slopes. BmP1.1 river mouth BmP1.2 upstream from river mouth View from fishing platform
#5921	6 Aug 2011	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1016.7 hPa Rainfall in last 48 hours 0.8mm River mouth wider and deeper than last monitoring observation. Height of berm across from fishing platform at bridge /gauge station is higher. BmP1.1 mouth of river - wider and retreated upstream from July observation BmP2.1 berm across from fishing platform is higher than July observation
#5781	3 Jul 2011	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1017 hPa, Rainfall over last 48 hours 2.4 mm BmP1.1 Mouth of the river BmP2.1 across river at bridge site on GOR
#5645	7 Jun 2011	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1012 hPa, Rainfall last 48 hours 17.4mm River level high from winter rainfall, covering fishing platforms. Storm surge and high tide waves washing over lowered berms at both bridge site and golf course site. The berm at the mouth has been lowered to sea level at high tide. See photos. Storm surge slowing outward flow of river at high tide. BmP1.1 mouth of estuary BmP1.2 upstream from mouth BmP2.1 across river at fishing platform
#5504	8 May 2011	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1015 hPa Rainfall last 48 hours 3.6 mm The River level at gauge is higher than it has been for a number of monitoring sessions. BmP1.1 river mouth BmP1.2 up river from river mouth BmP2.1 view from fishing platform
