(This schedule will commence on 26
February 2010 and continue until 6 April 2010 inclusive
unless otherwise advertised.)
All boats present at the lock prior to
these specific times will be allowed through the lock (this
may require more than one lockage). Outside of these times,
lockages will only be provided in emergency situations.
The lockages will run until 6 April 2010.
After this date it is likely that the lock will remain
closed until the water level in the Goolwa Channel is raised
by inflows down the Finniss River and Currency Creek.
