---------------------------------
The Victorian Channels Authority puts out a booklet of tide tables
annually - available from Information Victoria in Collins Street for
$7.50, and probably also from VCA direct. You can derive tide times
at Pt Wilson from the Geelong tables - Pt Wilson is 30 minutes ahead
of Geelong - and for Werribbee River entrance from Melbourne
(Williamstown - Werribee River is 24 minutes later. I don't know
whether the tides have read the book and always ebb and flow correct
to the minute, but it's probably the best available guide.

Dear all,
Recent reports on birds at Werribee SF have whetted my appetite
for the
heady atmnosphere of that great spot. But I've never been able
to get the
tides exactly right. Sometimes this is just because the wind
from the wrong
quarter means that the rivers back up and effectively there is no
low tide.
But mostly I find it very difficult to work out when the tides
are - there
seems to be a variable relationship with those at Port Pillip
Heads for
example. I know other birders have had the same problem. Can
anyone
enlighten us please?
Pat
(PS I have glued the crakes and rails page back into my Slater just
in case).
