An estimated 3,710 people live within 25km of this monitoring site (2016 census).

Commissioned: 2005

Latitude: 34⁰ 26' 34.8''S

Longitude: 142⁰ 53' 20.4''E

Elevation: 281.6 metres

The following air pollutants are measured at this station:

  • Total Suspended Particles (TSP)
  • Fine particles as PM2.5
  • Fine particles as PM10

Data from the site is reported as hourly updated particle concentrations.

Instrument limitations – Most rural network stations use mid-cost indicative monitors which respond to all aerosols including dust, sea salt and smoke. Single-channel DustTraks (TSP only) will also respond to fog. Care must be taken in interpreting the data compared with Air NEPM standards without additional information.
