It's a year later and in today's newspaper "The Age" of March 15, the headline reads "Fishermen alarmed as sand closes Entrance port".
In 40 years Peter Clarke as a fisherman at Lakes Entrance, he has been always able to move his trawlers through the port and into the ocean. That is, until a few days ago.
On Saturday night his son Stuart managed to get his fishing boat out of Lakes Entrance and back again.
His boat was one of the last. A massive build-up has closed the port since Monday morning.None of the 50-boat fleet has been able to move into the ocean because of the high sand mark.
