Notes
The sign that says no swimming in the mouth of the river is still in position on the beach. This sign has been in place for over one year indicating that it is unsafe to swim in the estuary for all of that time - which is untrue. Juliet has spoken to council employees about the sign - but there has been no action.
There is a lot of algae in the river - both sides of the river and upstream
