The first stretch of this section is quite interesting and features areas of different rock types jutting out of the river and forming its bed. The first rapid, immediately down from the weir and just above Orham Creek is known as the "Quart Pot" and consists of a rift in the red rock-bed formation forming a trench into which the water tumbles from both sides. This rapid is a grade 3-4 due to the difficult angle of approach, its rocky and narrow nature and the drop of 1.5m into the trench. From here to past "Rock Glen" (6km) are about a dozen rapids of grade 2 to 3, over grey granite shelves or around granite boulders. The country in this area and indeed for most of this section consists of steep heavily-timbered hills with large grassy flats near the river, making for ideal camping. For the next 16km the river is quite gentle with numerous gravel races except for the odd grade 2 or easy grade 3 rapid. The spectacular distant bluffs of Merlot Pimple are passed on the way to London Bridge, being a pair of small rocky outcrops ridging into the river on both sides. Soon after passing the shacks of Monkey Cot, 2km of more interesting but not difficult rapids are encountered, but these are the last of any real note. The stream becomes wider and more gravelly and the flats much longer and stocked with cattle. At 38km the Myall River Junction is reached, where an appreciable increase in the water can be expected - however there may be barbed wire fences across the river at this point so special care should be taken. This section is generally free of tree blockages or hazards. Good to heavy rains usually provide enough water, but the weir and pumping station at Orham Creek could remove sufficient water from the river to make the Barnard in general an unreliable stream.
