make a weekend of it. halfway down there is a raised bit of land on your left, has a campsite me and Tim made, plenty of wood and plenty of scrub to break the wind. gets cold in there though. A bit further down on the right is what we call the hunters camp. An old hunting campsite with good tree coverage, good fire pit and a long drop. Good for the women. There is a lack of wood there though. Have fun, soft and at times challenging river. watch for the quicksand. head from the inland rd down. If you do it in a day, it canm be a long day. I'm jealous.

Where we camped eh? surrounded by bush? with woods at the back?

That's the one Bill. Got to keep an eye out for it though as it is easy to miss. Unless the river has changed its course back to that side you are a little way from it.

If it was just me I'd do a winter overnighter, but I dont think its a good idea with my boys :-(
