#10552	16 Aug 2016	Approved	Notes: Rainfall past 48 hrs = 3 mm; atmospheric pressure = 1022.2 hPa. bmp2_1 bmp3_1 bmp3_2
#10550	22 Jul 2016	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 993.9 hPa Rainfall last 48 hours 19.8 mm High Tide plus swell causing overflow banks at bridge (BmP2) fishing platforms flooded. Wide and deep mouth channel Brush pile at bridge car park has been burnt, but dumping continues. bmp2_1 bmp3_1 bmp3_2
#10389	22 Jun 2016	Approved	Notes: Rainfall in last 48 hours 7.8 mm Atmospheric Pressure 1000.0 hPa. A combination of a higher tide than usual and steady rains in the river catchment are responsible for the high river depth reading. bmp2_1 bmp3_1 bmp3_2
#10333	25 May 2016	Approved	Notes: Rain in last 48 hours 8.6 mm Atmospheric Pressure 1009.6 hPa Since last months monitoring high sea swells+ high tides + low Pressure produced several days of wave surge that appears to have moved much sand across the first berm and depositing it into the river.

#10257	20 Apr 2016	Approved	Notes: Rainfall lst 48 hrs 0mm, Atmospheric Pressure 1020hPaWater level at rain gauge is high with fishing platforms under water. Wide berm across closed mouth has caused the river to widen considerably,flooding hood plover nesting area. Berm length was 38metres. BmP2_20160420_1_136 BmP3_20160420_1_217 BmP3_20160420_2_237
#10196	11 Mar 2016	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 7.2 mm. Atmos. Press. 1018.3 hPa 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.

#10076	15 Jan 2016	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 4.2mm. Atmospheric Prressure 1032.5 hPa. Water stain on sandbank sugests the river level rose with the higher tide of 1.67 @04.06am, with rough waves surmounting the the berm at the mouth. Berm along the beach front is spotted with pioneering plants, and has been fenced off for hooded plovers nesting. Berm length 65.5m. Bmp2_20160115_1_136 Bmp3_20160115_1_217 Bmp3_20160115_2_257
#10010	15 Dec 2015	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 0mm, Atmospheric Pressure 1016 hPa Vegetation has established along the berm opposite the fishing platform and towards the mouth Water stain on river banks at the mouth suggests river level has been higher during the last 24 hours, suggesting the river level has been higher, possibly due to wave intrusion at high tide (1.66m ) at 03:05 BmP2_20151215_1_136 BmP3_20151215_1_217 BmP3_20151215_2_257

#9839	13 Sep 2015	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 0mm; Air Pressure 1022.5hPa A modest high tide and low rainfall resulted in low river level. Dunes well established. BmP2_20150913_1_136 BmP3_20150913_1_217 BmP3_20150913_2_257
#9791	18 Aug 2015	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 24 hours 12.6 mm, Atmospheric Pressure 1023.1. There is a large build up of sand opposite the fishing platform at BmP2. Mouth opening is wide, with tidal waves traveling upstream for approx. 100 m. Monitors were absent from the region on holiday, so that the Mode information is lacking BmP2_20150818_1_136 BmP3_20150818_1_217 BmP3_20150818_2_257
#9740	15 Jul 2015	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 20.8 Atmospheric Pressure 1018 hPa High rainfall caused strong outward flow of river at mouth BmP2_20170715_1_136 BmP3_20150715_2_257 BmP3_20170715_1_217
#9666	15 Jun 2015	Approved	Notes: Rainfall lat 48 hours 0mm, Atmospheric Pressure 1025.3 hPa, Tidal inflow extended about 30 metres upstream. Noticeable sand deposition on foredune along beach front. Bmp2_20150615_1_136 Bmp3_20150615_1_217 Bmp3_20150615_2_257
#9591	6 May 2015	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 38 mm. Atmospheric Pressure 1008.3 hPa. Storm surge, high tide and high rainfall all contributed to exceptional water levels, overwashed berms and dramatic scenery. It is possible that at low tide the mouth would be closed - the water depth across the mouth was quite shallow at high tide. BmP2_20150506_1_136 BmP3_20150506_1_217 BmP3_20150506_2_257
#9528	7 Apr 2015	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 1.4mm. Air pressure 1013.5Kpa. Very stormy weather. BmP2_20150407_1_136.jpg BmP3_20150407_1_217.jpg BmP3_20150407_2_257.jpg
#9433	3 Mar 2015	Approved	Notes: Atmospheric Pressure 1017.3, rainfall last 48 hours 0 mm. River level is above banks, minor flooding in the riparian zone. Mouth berm is narrow, and a bigger high tide would wash over the berm blocking the river. There is a broad pondage of river water behind the berm. Tidal influence is questionable. The river level dropped marginally, probably due to river seepage underneath the berm. Berm length is 14 meters long. BmP2_20150303_1_136 BmP3_20150303_1_217 BmP3_20150303_2_257
#9359	2 Feb 2015	Approved	Notes: 0.6 mm rain during past 48 hrs. Atmospheric pressure = 1020.4 hPa. Mouth closed! River just flooding over banks into campground oval. BmP2_20150202_1_136 BmP3_20150202_1_217 BmP3_20150202_2_257
#9288	4 Jan 2015	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 6.00 mm. Atmosppheric Presssure 1018.1 hPa Mouth open with water flowing out through narrow winding channel. Bmp2_20150104_1_136 Bmp3_20150104_1_217 Bmp3_20150104_2_257
#9226	25 Nov 2014	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hrs 8 mm. Atmospheric Pressure 1017.4 hPa. While there was no tidal influence at the time of monitoring, the high tide at 2 am did raise the river height considerably, leaving a tide water mark on river bank. Berm at the river mouth has been greatly reduced resulting in a flat beach. The River channel has been pushed against the mainland river bank. The flow through the mouth is shallow with a HT of 1.4m The shrubs previously obscuring the view of the river gauge have been trimmed back and gauges are now clear for reading.

#9178	29 Oct 2014	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 12 mm Considerable sand deposiition near mouth of the river. River level relatively high, causing good outward flow. Shrub growth around the river gauge is obsscuring view of readings. We will take branch cutting tools next month. Bmp2_20141029_1_136 Bmp3_20141029_1_217 Bmp3_20141029_2_257

#9033	30 Jul 2014	Approved	Notes: Rainfall during past 48 hrs was 23 mm in Otways. Atmospheric pressure = 1008.8 hPa. High-tide storm surge combined with recent rain produce elevated water levels in estuary. Berm breached in several places adjacent to river mouth.

#8990	5 Jul 2014	Approved	Notes: Rain in last 48 hours 13mm Atmospheric Pressure 1009 hPa. Stormy weather during sampling with breakers causing storm surge up the river mouth, while rainfall provided good downstream flow at the same time. Bmp2_ 20140705_1_136 Bmp3_20140705_1_217 Bmp3_20140705_2_257
