    This dataset contains oceanographic data collected at a series of 50m to 400 m coastal stations off Kiama, New South Wales (lat. 34 deg. 40 min. S, long. 150 deg. 53 min. E to 151 deg 10 min E) in 1958 and at lat. 35 deg. 40 min. S, long. 150 deg. 30 min. E in 1960. The station was set up under the CSIRO coastal monitoring programme in the 1950s and was sampled for temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen at depths intervals of 10m or greater, below the surface. Sampling was undertaken on one date in September 1958, and again between February and July 1960. The data are stored on-line as part of the CMR hydrology archive in Hobart. Additional copies of the 1960 data are deposited with the NODC data archive (World Data Centre-A) in the U.S.A., and details of relevant data files can be viewed via their website by requesting the file inventory for this coastal station which is NODC platform code "09F4". Station details, plus printed versions of the 1958 data, have been published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series.
