Access Point Description:
This is a popular river with most groups paddling the section from Dundurrabin to the Nymboida River, near Platypus Flat. The sections higher up offer paddling of a high quality and difficulty but require more rain to flow. Higher put in points can be found on the Merango Rd from Hernarni or from any other road that goes down to the river such as the un-named road that leaves the Armidale-Grafton Road at 521551. Water levels can be most easily seen from the bridge on the Armidale-Grafton Road, near Dundurrabin.
Paddling on the upper sections is quite serious with many rapids up to grade 6 in standard. Trees also pose as a problem on several sections.
