Description |
The estuary mouth closed its connection with the ocean between the 20th and 29th of April. Water level was at 1.80m AHD on the 29th of April, with large ocean swells pushing sea water over the sand berm. The Estuary mouth is still closed, and the adjacent floodplain area is still covered with water, but the water levels have dropped to 1.78m after the ocean swells died down. |
