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.

Data for 1978-1985 revised with new set received from the National Tidal Centre, Bureau of Meteorology, South Australia

The value of MTL-MSL is unknown, though estimates are -20 mm for Rosslyn Bay and 4 mm for Bundaberg. Given that the level is probably unknown to more than 10 mm, we have set the 001 flag for the MTL for the period 1957-1977.

Using updated metadata from the NTC website the RLR diagram for Gladstone has been revised. Primary benchmark is now PM 10855 5.66m above LAT.
