These are some photos from a short drive around from Betka to Mullet Creek. The first image was taken as 1327 on 27 March. The sea at Betka was rather rough and running over the sandbank: however the bank held until at least the next day.
Much material on Betka road.
At Bastion Point the area beyond the breakwater was covered in foam, but this was simply the results of the wild sea not an algal bloom.
A wild sea!
All the work last year seems to have done a job of protecting the breakwater from the swells by getting the break further out..
In the recent past this would have smashed into the face of the breakwater rather than having broken some metres earlier. Lets see if the wall survived.
Much white water towards the Mouth.
Lots of vegetation down. (Power was out from 1136 on 27th until 1426 on 28th.)m These images are on Lakeside Drive.
Angophora Drive.
The weather was stirring up the fruit bats at Mullet Creek. (They flew out well on 28th.)
The marsh near Fisheries Jetty had very little water visible early on the 27th. By midday on the 28 the combination of 100mm of rain and a Southerly driving water through the Mouth had got the water level up again.
