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: SNOWY 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).
