#8144	8 Mar 2013	Approved	Notes: Beach wide and sloping, sand cliff caused by recent opening being reduced by wave action. Wave action bringing sand into the estuary.

#8163	15 Mar 2013	Approved	Notes: 1.River mouth perched -waves over travelling along east side into estuary 2. No dark discharge travelling out 3. Actual berm is longer, wider & very shallow - Width of wave entry 20-40m. 4.Long shore drift very active about 20m.+ from shore where north south aligned waves collide with those from sw. Foam & spray going up very high 5.Sand visiable in breakers out to sea 6.Waves have been high up on shore but no long shore drift in former area behind berm 7 No sign of any dead fish.

#8189	20 Mar 2013	Approved	Notes: Mouth closed but waves over at hi tide entering directly south of estuary Sandbar forming about 20m out to sea where main impact of longshore drift occurs, deeper channel between this & shore Water over track south of camp. ground & low track but no water on OCR or OOR Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8191	23 Mar 2013	Approved	Notes: Mouth closed but waves entering at hi tide acros a wide area Estuary has more sand across front but a narrow 'amr' extends closer to sea at base of cliff Beach - horseshoe shaped with higher sand east of entrance. Area closest to cliff is lower Long shore drift out to sea not as active Water in large depression (OCR)south of camp. ground & over low track but not visiable on any other roads Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8198	27 Mar 2013	Approved	Notes: Mouth barred but waves over across a wide area directly south of estuary at hi tide Berm gradually slopping toward sea Long shore drift not active Wind driven waves in estuary Water in small area on side of top track & nearly to car park on low track Good catches of tomy rough & salmon from ocean beach Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8200	1 Apr 2013	Approved	Notes: Mouth barred but waves over on very wide front during recent v.rough seas & hi tide Berm is higher & wider, but lower near cliff Sea has reached base of dunes creating sheer face & also travelled up & over highest area east of entrance entering estuary from mouth to near top track entrance Water over all of low track & small area of top track Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8208	5 Apr 2013	Approved	Notes: Mouth closed -some waves have been over the bar but only entering the estuary across a narrow low area close to cliff Sand visiable in breakers directly south of estuary & also to west Ocean beach wide & slopping, sand still high east of estuary entrance but slopes down lower toward cliff Increased water cover on top track & in small area alongside OCR between GOR & camp. ground Water over deck of fishing platform(G2) Increased flooding upstream but not over OOR Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8212	7 Apr 2013	Approved	Notes: illegal opening attempted but mouth still closed Water flowing out from estuary but going underground about half way along trench Beach changing shape -undulations from north to south appearing but highest point is still east of entrance. Sand cliff starting east end Berm is lower against cliff Many small fish in flooded vegetation along side of estuary Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8217	12 Apr 2013	Approved	Notes: Mouth closed but some flow out has occured along the trench recently dug during an attempt at illegal opening. Flow out observed 11/04/13 and signs of wave entry & outflow after hi tide noted on12/04/13 Water is currently flowing along trench to about 20m from estuary & going under ground Beach wide & slopping (horseshoe shape) but highest point remains east of mouth. Lower next to cliff Long shore drift strong about 20-50m out to sea Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_5 Gp_4
