Notes:
- even though the river is flowing fast out to sea the tide is coming in creating waves running up the river. -'Beach' under bridge and inland from bridge is becoming more established. |

Notes:
The whole river bed upstream of the bridge is now covered with sand - we have a new beach (see attached photo). A lot of sand lost in front of the campsite and river flowing straight out to sea. |

Notes:
The river channel has narrowed and the depth gauge is in sand, thus no water height can be recorded. See photo. Dolphins sighted close to the shore at 10.05am. |

Notes:
Wind gusty and chill factor high, FREEZING! The ramp to the beach has been underscored by high tides and big swells a few weeks ago. The grass edge at beach continues to erode. Strong growth of shrubs and trees on bank at foreshore camping ground side of river. River from sea side of bridge flowing in unusual shape. Flowing north-south or right to left before flowing out along a more usual path.

#10946 | 19 Mar 2017 | Approved |
Notes:
River between bridge and sea like a large very still lagoon with lots of algae - 2 schools of little fish observed. Photo taken of water level marker under the bridge- the measurements are very difficult to read- suggest the numbers could be marked in another colour and the line extended right across the post. |

Notes:
The increased growth of the tree on the river bank dominates the Wyp1 Photopoint site. |
