Notes:
- Dark discharge along foreshore to east
- Wind in all directions around Gp1, north wind flattening out the waves, & wind coming from s/e bringing blown sand into channel & across mouth
- Longshore drift active
- Water level low in estuary , sandbar exposed & low track mostly clear of water
- Drying skeins of algae (some rotten) cover some areas of vegetation where water has receded- a couple of very small dead fish in deep remaining pools smothered by rotting algae
- New sea grass (about (10cm.) actively growing near waters edge
- Many black cocatoos

Notes:
- Mouth permit opening 12/01/16 4:00 pm
- Strong outflow with very dark discharge around mouth, along shore line to east then out to sea.
- Out flow along channel passing over cataract between rocks & cliff
- Sheer sides to channel(1.50m) at highest point near rocks, after that the height decreases & swings slightly to east
- Despite strong outflow some waves are entering & longshore drift is moving across area to cliff face
- Sand build up remains downstream rocks against cliff
- Strong north wind raising waves across estuary, foam along south sand area

Notes:
- No flow , mouth barred but some waves over berm at last hi tide
- Berm increased in height
- Attempted illegal opening last night(?) but currently no out flow as waves have been over this area on a wide front infilling the dug out drain
- Beach horseshoe shaped, south west waves have strongly impacted mid beach with longshore drift travelling back to mouth. Sand is building up higher at both ends of beach
- Last 2 day about 40c.temp but strong se wind today has created turbulence & estuary surprisingly clear of algae, small fish noted along s side
- Water up to car park along low track but top track only damp
- Many Squid carapaces, dead moths & small blue jellyfish along swash line
- Dead Albatross found near mouth oxer past week
- Silver gulls (7) feeding along swash line
