Shuttle Length:
The car shuttle of 50km return is via forestry roads and takes approximately 1.5 hours. Several other feeder roads lead to the river, but they may not always be appropriate due to the changing nature of forestry management.
Portage?:
No
Description:
The river predominately flows between forested ridges and consists of gravel races and longish sandy-bottomed pools. In general it is free of tree hazards and maintains a reasonable flow. The rapids are up to grade 2 with a water level of at least 1.0m (refer Section 1). The main landmarks in the section are Wandella Creek (9km) and the smallish Cut Burra Creek (15.5km). Apart from these a few remote dwellings usually pinpoint the location of a forestry road. The trip can easily be extended through to Tuross Lake if desired, however camping is restricted by farming habitation.
