#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
