Notes
Bad blue-green algae present in the river.
Very unpleasant odour. Caravan Park has few customers, Dean says they arrive, smell the odour, have a look at the river and cancel their booking.
Local residents have organised a meeting at the Dory Street Boat Ramp at 10.00am on Sunday next to highlight the problem.
The local eel catcher has put a video on facebook of his trip down the river, showing large numbers of dead fish near the banks. He plans to do another video next Saturday. It has been publicised on the Port Campbell Beacon website, and on the "Peterborough Press" facebook page.
Sorry about the photo upside down. I tried to rotate it, but could not. You may have better luck. If not, I can send you the photo.
