Got sent this link on Facebook might be good to get some for some of the Australian GPS Sailors to fly the flag for Australia. However not sure there are that many fresh water sailors in australia.

At the moment Kato I would say LG was topped up this winter with 80% fresh and 20% seawater, the channel to the sea was not dug out this year so only some 9 metres swells had a small flow in, water level has already peaked after a very dry august than normal, the last time they had no budget to dig the channel was 011 and 012 and you know how that turned out, bit exited about this coming summer already as the fresher water burns of real quick to get to the level we all want.
