#8852	7 May 2014	Approved	Notes: In the 48 hrs before these observation, 1.2 mm of rain was received. Atmospheric pressure = 1029.3 hPa. Rain (43mm) during previous week has raised water level in river; level now dropping. Bmp2 20140507_1_136 Bmp2 20140507_2_257 Bmp3 20140507_1_217
#8813	3 Apr 2014	Approved	Notes: Air pressure 1020.6 hPa; 0.4 mm rain previous 48 hr. At high tide waves overwash berm and push a storm surge upstream. At low tide there would be no surface flow. BmP2_20140403_1_136 BmP3_20140403_1_217 BmP3_20140403_2_257
#8772	7 Mar 2014	Approved	Notes: Rain fall last 48 hours Air Pressure 1022.5 hPa The mouth was open at High Tide, allowing incoming waves to enter the river, and gently flow upstream for approx. 30 metres. At low tide the river mouth would be CLOSED. Probably there is no outward flow of the river, hence the high water level reading. bmp2_1 bmp3_1 bmp3_2
#8703	1 Feb 2014	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hrs 0 mm, Atmospheric Pressure 1014 hPa January has been very dry, and has had a number of very hot days. Mouth opening is very narrow. At low tide the river flow would be blocked. Bmp2_20140201_1_136 Bmp3_20140201_1_217 Bmp3_20140201_2_257
#8649	2 Jan 2014	Approved	Notes: 2.6 mm of rain in past 48 hr. Air pressure = 1008.8 hPa. Water levels given above are estimates only because silt deposits conceal gauge readings less than the 0.6 m mark. Tidal influence was inferred from water water stain on bank above the current water level. Bmp2_20140102_1_136 Bmp3_20140102_1_217 Bmp3_20140102_2_257
#8609	2 Dec 2013	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1016 hPa, Rainfall last 48 hours 0.00 m The river gauge was silted up to the 0.6 m mark, and Water Level entries are estimates only. Tidal influence was noted from the water stains left on the sand banks from an overnight high tide at 22:57 pm with a reading of 1.4m BmP2_20131302_1_136 BmP3_20131202_1_217 BmP3_20131202_2_257
#8545	2 Nov 2013	Approved	Notes: No rain last 48 hrs; Atmospheric pressure = 1015.5 hPa *** Water levels are estimates only as at these low levels the river gauge is obscured by mud deposition. Bmp2_20131102_1_136 Bmp3_20131102_1_217 Bmp3_20131102_2_257
#8511	4 Oct 2013	Approved	Notes: Air pressure = 1021.0 hPa; 11.4 mm rain during past 48 hrs recorded at Cape Otway. Heavy rains and gale winds characterize preceding week.
#8476	8 Sep 2013	Approved	Notes: Air pressure 1027 hPa.
#8451	14 Aug 2013	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 31 mm, Air Pressure 999.2 hPa River level is high due to heavy rainfall in preceding week, and to the high tide hindering outward flow. Berm at river mouth has been been eroded to lower its height. Mouth opening has widened. Bmp2_20130814_136 Bmp3_20130814_1_217 Bmp3_20130814_2_257
#8319	6 Jun 2013	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 2.8 Air Pressure 1012.9 hPa Waves moving upstream at mouth of river Bmp2 20130606_1_136 Bmp3 20130606_1-217 Bmp3 20130606_2-257
#8257	1 May 2013	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hrs 11 mm. Air Pressure 1021.3 hPa The river level is above the banks, flooding the camp ground, and the horse paddock as well as rest of flood plain near the river edge. Additional rainfall will intensify flooding. The berm opposite the fishing platform at the bridge has risen in height. At the Golf Course observation post the high tide breakers did travel over the closed mouth, but there is no outward flow of river water . Berm across the mouth at high tide is shallow, but wide 35 meters on river side and 7 metres on seaward side. BmP2_20130501_1 BmP3_20130501_1 BmP3_20130501_2
#8199	28 Mar 2013	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1013.9 hPa, Rainfall last 48 hrs 2.6 mm. Stormy conditions at time of sampling. River above banks and spreading to flats. Waves breaking over berms which have been reduced in height since last monitoring. At high tide waves were breaking over the shallow berm across mouth which would block outward flow at low tide. See photos. BmP2_20130328_1 BmP3_20130328_1 BmP3_20130328_2
#8125	28 Feb 2013	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1017.3 hPa, Rainfall last 48 hrs 14.0mm Water Level in the river high with flooded fishing platforms, and full banks. Level is due to the sand bar which is just underwater at high tide at estuary mouth. Mouth would be closed at low tide. See additional photo for BmP3 showing mouth. The location of the mouth has shifted north since last monitoring. Berm has been greatly reduced in height BmP2_20130228_1_136 BmP3_20130228_1_217 BmP3_20130228_2_257
#8048	31 Jan 2013	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hrs 8.6, Air Pressure 1011.5 hPa. River level comparatively high. At HT the mouth was open with in flowing tide. However the depth at the mouth was very shallow, suggesting the mouth would be closed at low tide. This would help to account for the high river level. BmP2 20130131_1 BmP3_20130131_1 BmP3_20130131_2
#7973	31 Dec 2012	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 0mm Air Pressure 1018.9 Mouth entrance is quite narrow, <3 metres Vegetation has been cleared around the river gauge near the bridge so that the gauge can now be easily read BmP2 20121231_1_136 BmP3_20121231_1_217 BmP3_20121231_2_257
#7950	5 Dec 2012	Approved	Notes: Atmospheric Pressure 1011.7 hPa Rainfall last 48 hours 7.4 mm Thick vegetation obscures the lower two river gauges, the reading above are a close estimation. WE shall take pruning tools on our next monitoring visit. BmP2:_20121205_1 BmP3_20121205_1 BmP3_20121205_2
#7910	31 Oct 2012	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 0mm Air Pressure 1010.0 hPa First Water Level height is an estimate as water was below the silt covering the gauge. Wind direction has been entered as E, however there was no wind, and therefore no direction. This is not an option on the program. BmP2_20121031_1_136 BmP3_20121031_1_217 BmP3_20121031_2_257

#7713	11 Sep 2012	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1020.5 hPa, Rainfall over last 48 hours 0mm Preceeding weather has been marked by very high winds (mode W) responsible for deposition of sand on beaches and berms BmP2.1 BmP3.1 BmP3.2

#7204	5 Jun 2012	Approved	Notes: Air Pressure 1018.6 hPa, rainfall last 48 hrs 47.8mm Intense storm on 04/06/12. Rack line shows river height at peak of flood greater than 1.28m. Large waves breaking over berm opposite fishing platform. Mouth is wide, storm waves battering edge of berm, greatly modifying its structure. Wave surge at HT is impeding the outward flow of flood waters.

#7108	4 May 2012	Approved	Notes: Rainfall last 48 hours 12 mm Air Pressure 1019.5 hPa River full to height of bank top, high rainfall in upper catchment over last 3 days has produced strong river outflow through recently opened estuary mouth. Large flock of terns resting on river banks at fishing platform. BmP1.1 Estuary mouth showing coastline of the Bay beyond BmP1.2 Estuary mouth and the river inland BmP2.1 across river at fishing platform
#6823	6 Mar 2012	Approved	Notes: Atmospheric pressure 1024.1 hPa, Rainfall in last 48 hrs 2 mm. Note very strong winds over the previous week. The height and width of the dune between ocean and river has increased in height and width, with vegetation starting to colonize the dune opposite the fishing platform photosite. Although there was no tidal influence at the time of monitoring, the overnight high tide (1.5m) had pushed the level of the river higher, to leave wet stained sand along river bank.
