Notes
1.River has opened again (observed at low tide) and is flowing over a wide very shallow entrance. There is no distinct deeper chanel downstream of rocks
2. Slight dark discharge around mouth and to east.
3.Stronger flow upstream of rocks has cut a channel about 7m. wide & 1m. deep with about 70cm sides which are collapsing into the flow. Flow decreases and becomes more shallow after rocks
4.Waves in all directions at mouth -longshore drift returning more sand
5.Water levels have risen in both Latrobe and Northern wetlands. (44ml. recorded at G6 during past week.)
