Notes

Low water level because of tide & reducing flow, dark discharge around mouth with small waves entering & going upstream across the lagoon on G2. East side of channel is sheer sided (up to about .40 high at start of channel)

Remains of the previous sand projection going north into the estuary was visible because of lower water levels

No water over any tracks & flood water has drained from flats around G4, but remains from midway between G5&G4 up to G6
