25 Oct – 1 NovNo classesHeight is each gauge against its OWN normal — the 90 days ending a month ago, so the water it is being compared with is not this event. The dotted line is that normal, the next line up its 90th percentile. Not metres, which differ by gauge. Colour is the flood class it has crossed. Dashed ring = too little record to place.

Water from Mountview has typically reached here in ≈ 20 h, measured from past rises — not a forecast.

About this gauge

Fossickers Flat (gauge 215207) measures the Shoalhaven River in New South Wales. The next verified gauge upstream is Mountview. Downstream, the next verified gauge is Grassy Gully NO.2. 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). 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: SHOALHAVEN RIVER.

Named floods

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).
