Please note: In many cases, the station position in our database is accurate
to only one minute. Thus, the tide gauge may not appear to be on the coast.
Station density along some sections of the Australian coast has meant that station codes 601 onwards have been re-ordered compared to those in earlier versions of the PSMSL data set.

Three Tasmanian stations Burnie, Devonport and Low Head have a spike in May 2016. When these are plotted together the spike gets larger as it travels around the coastline from Burnie to Devonport and finally to Low Head where the spike is so great it looks like an anomaly.
