Gday Folks

Am planning a holiday down broke inlet this year, have been there twice, accessing via 4wd. This time I plan to boat it into the mouth, launching from the old fisho shacks. My question is, is it pretty striaght forward, shallow, duration, general conditions.

Ive checked google earth and it looks to be bout 6-8km ride. and advise or maps would be greatly appriciated?

Thanks

Ive been there once, launched from the shacks - set up a camp overnight up the river.... beautiful place but we caught sweet fa.... We were in Hornets and I dunno if it was 6-8ks, didnt seem that far.

Have fun, sure is a nice spot.

YEAH its good, been twice and never done well fishing wise but it looks to good to give up on, Ive got a quintrex fishabout pretty small boat at that. Did you have any hassles on the journey, did you get to the mouth? Ive been about 1 km up from the mouth and cant remember if there were any markers

Yeah went to the mouth and also as far up the river we could get, no dramas with water depth - but I suppose the depth depends on the bar etc. It was certainly deep enough when we were there, but it did look quite flooded as well.

cheers
