These photos were taken at 10am Tues 17 August 2010. Much progress has been made since last Saturday with a 2m deep channel now extending from the river to the beach just short of the waters' edge. The cut does not take the shortest distance from the river to the sea, but is angled to reach the sea at the surfing beach in front of the Lions Look-out. Some concern has been expressed about this because this is where the greatest wave action occurs due to the sand bank that exists here. It gives the best braking wave for the surfers.
The concern is that because of the sand bank in this part of the beach, and the wave action it causes, that the new river-mouth will soon silt up again.
Lets hope not.
This is a photo of me fishing in the dinghy with Jason and Ashley which was published in the Western Fisheries magazine a couple of years ago. The last photo is just a bit of bragging!
