Estuary Wild Dog Creek Estuary

Notes

Recent heavy rain (55mm) produced a swift flowing river. Waves came up to first river bend - 100 m from the mouth, but not much further. The swift river kept a fairly vigourous swell from making much headway in the river. Futher erosion of the western sandbank is evident near the mouth.
