More gauges on this river are known but awaiting verification, and travel-time estimates will appear once reach calibration has been reviewed.
Floodway shows levels from the Bureau of Meteorology’s national water data service, compared against the Bureau’s flood classifications for this location. During events, always follow official BoM flood warnings and VicSES advice.

Heights at this gauge are local gauge height (LGH) — gauge zero sits at 237.446 m. Local gauge height is measured from a datum set at this site, so a reading here is not directly comparable with one at another gauge. Drainage basin: OVENS RIVER.
Peaks are computed from the readings stored for this gauge over each named event window — verify against official records before relying on them (docs/VERIFICATION.md §5).
