About this table

1. The river height observations are real-time operational data, and received from a mixture of manual readings and automated telemetry systems.
2. In most cases river heights are expressed in Local Gauge Height (LGH) which typically has a zero reading near the lowest water level reached during dry conditions. In many tidal areas, as well as for a few inland river gauges, river levels are stated in Australian Height Datum (AHD), which is approximately the height above mean sea level.
3. The data is provided for flood warning purposes, and it is possible that some data will not be available during non-flood periods.
4. Where provided, heights or depths above/below roads, bridges, dam spillways and weirs are given as a guide only.
5. Where provided, Cease to flow (CTF) is the gauge height at which the river ceases to flow at a rockbar or weir.
6. Most river height data is provided to the Bureau of Meteorology by other agencies. Use of these data is subject to the terms and conditions of the supplying organisations.
