- Summary
- Historically, the Jed River and Buxton Creek flowed to the sea with separate mouths. Approximately, 15-20 years ago during a period of heavy seas large amounts of gravels were deposited on the beach forming a gravel bar disconnecting these waterways from the sea. Heavy rain in the catchment increases flows in these waterways and without a direct connection to the sea the surrounding land is prone to inundation and erosion.
