Description:
This is a very pleasant day trip on a beautiful section of river. It is commonly known by canoeists as "The Gorge". The first few kilometres are easy but soon the grade of the rapids increases up to good grade 2 as the river enters the gorge proper. Later, the river quietens again, flowing between banks lined with old bottlebrush and casuarinas. A couple of hours into the trip a low-level bridge MUST be portaged. This is a great lunch spot. Look out for the Bindera Island where the river divides. Both sides can be negotiated but greater care should be taken on the right where it is narrow and affected by floods. Trees can block the way. You will need to use river right if leaving the river at Bindera South Access. If you plan to continue to the Cove then the left hand side is more open. THERE IS NO LONGER ACCESS VIA THE BINDERA STATION. For detailed information of this next section, please refer to the BIndera South to the Cove or Rocky Crossing.
