About this plot The river height data is [sic] real-time operational data from automated telemetry systems and has not been quality controlled. The data is [sic] provided for flood warning purposes and most data will not be available during non flood periods. Most river height data is [sic] provided to the Bureau of Meteorology by other agencies. Separate approval may be required to use the data for other purposes. Heights are given in metres. Sites marked with ** indicate that the automatic telemeter gauge is at a different location to the historical flood gauge. Therefore, the height shown in the table is not the water level at the historical flood gauge.

QUESTION - WHERE IS 'HILLVIEW' ?

DATA ARE APPARENTLY COMING FROM THIS N.S.W. GOVERNEMENT SOURCE - http://waterinfo.nsw.gov.au/pinneena/interactive/215-shoalhaven.pdf 49.181.237.0 (talk) 07:07, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Weatherzone gives a lat/lon for each weather station. You can see the one for Hillview here [1]. Of course, I can't vouch for its accuracy. Would appear to be accessible only via private land (or by river, of course). --Inas (talk) 00:42, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Who named the Shoalhaven River?

Who named the Shoalhaven River, and the Crookhaven River for that matter?

Are both river mouths unsuitable for navigation, as the words "Shoal" and "Crook" imply? Wimbledon32 (talk) 08:18, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Neither named by Captain Cook. See List of Australian places named by James Cook. Wimbledon32 (talk) 19:51, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Who named Port Jackson?

Captain Cook did. See [Jackson]. Wimbledon32 (talk) 18:09, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
