Description:
This section is predominantly flat water with a few races and takes 1/2 day's paddling time. See the previous section for access at Colinton and the following section for access at Nyora. NYORA TO ANGLE CROSSING (21 km) Nyora (Map Ref. 953416) is a homestead on the western side of the Monaro Highway about 4km south of Michelago. No public access is available at Nyora unless specific permission of the owner has been granted. From Nyora a track leads down to the river after 3 1 /2km. Angle Crossing is reached by turning west off the Monaro Highway at Williamsdale. The River is a safe and pleasant section of the Murrumbidgee bordered by high hills on the east and a mountain backdrop on the west all the way. The river is characterised by easy grade 2 rapids and races separated by pools and two grade 2-3 rapids. About halfway between Nyora and Michelago Creek there are some limestone cliffs with small caves on the eastern bank. It is worth taking a torch to view the stalactites in these caves although they are dead formations. Pleasant campsites are plentiful along this scenic section of river which flows through naturally vegetated country.
