    Notes The inflow of the water from the Keysers and Westlake Rivers under the railway bridge was nil. There was no flow to be measured, the mouth of the estuary was closed. There was a gusting gale force SE wind blowing, making it difficult for us to stands on or near the railway lines and the bridge, even to hold binos still in the wind was difficult in this exposed area.
