    River Level Gauge Location (EA): Level: 8cum release
    River level on the Get in (Land Marks etc). N/A

    Specific Hazards: On 8 cum release the lower T is a bump and grind. Therefore its better to stick to the upper T,

    Additional comments: At this level. the river can be run from the Dam to the Chipper all the way down to the Cafe.

    Swimmers: A couple of “shit swims”. do not count as a swim.
    Definition of a “shit swim”: Low level, caused by a silly event or lose of concentration. nothing to worry about.
    Chasing Boats through the Grave Yard is not recommended. It takes a lot of time and effort to recover the boat. However Chucky & Keith made it sound easy (not)
    Events: Boat Chasing the dynamic Duo
    Nigel made us all fresh Hot Drinks.
