#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.
#8476 8 Sep 2013 Approved Notes: Air pressure 1027 hPa.
#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.
#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.
#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
#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.
#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.
#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.

#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.
#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.
