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.

The reference datum for King Bay changed from Chart Datum to Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) on 01/01/2009. The difference between the two is 0.12m the RLR factor has changed.

Following a recent download of data for King Bay from the NTC website it was noticed that the data for 2008 had been revised. This data has now been re-loaded onto the database.
Documentation added 2020-03-16
A comparison of data with that currently available from the Bureau of Meteorology shows the switch in datum to LAT occurred at the start of 2008, not 2009 (hence the correction of 2008 data made in 2013).
