Notes
The water at the Curdies Estuary is putrid with Blue Green Algae, to the extent that the surface is coated in a thick scum close to the shore.. The water is like pea soup over the entire depth, but the smell is more like an open cesspit.
The Caravan Park adjacent to the river is constantly getting cancellations because the tourists cannot stand the terrible smell. Local resicdents are also complaining about the terrible smell.
