Otway Ranges including Barham Catchment received record rainfall with heavy winds in August. River banks overflowed into the riparian zone, large logs and heavy debris washed to estuary shoreline, and in places overtopped with silt and sand. Estuary mouth has been reshaped due to berm erosion on ocean side. River now back in its banks.
