The Canoeing Guide to NSW Rivers
This section is quite interesting, with a few small drops and rocky sections, but also suffers from the characteristic log blockages of this river. Phils Falls itself is a rather insignificant feature but the subsequent Honeysuckle Falls is an enjoyable little chute (quite straightforward). A memorable view of Evans Crown is seen in this stretch. A set of rocks and drops a few kilometres above the Oberon Road Bridge, which has a confused set of channels among trees, should be approached with care in high water. It is probably best to keep left and inspect the route. An enjoyable set of rocky steps a little below the old bridge is the last significant rapid, and the last haul is mostly over shallow sandy meanders. Apart from one rapid none would be above grade 2 but care should be exercised with tree blockages in high water.
