Right, SLOWLY. So it’s wide enough then. Also, to reach the creek, do you veer to the left or right as you enter Sugar Loaf Bay?

Thin Paddler, my Nemesis!!

You turn around SLOWLY. My yak is 5.38m and I managed to do a 3 point turn to about face. Enjoy it mate, its a great paddle!

I’m heading out there this weekend, according to the BOM there’ll be a high tide early Sunday (http://bit.ly/QWX3n). When you get to the end, how do you turn round?

Portage in mud would be terrible, I can’t imagine just how horrible that would be!

We’ve got a few of those Mangrove trails around here in Florida. I haven’t yet been caught in one when the tide went out, but I hear trudging out thru the mud is no fun.

I don’t remember the bamboo being there in the late eighties?
Areas change; which just adds to the interest in paddling. Look forward to having another look some day.

So true about the wilderness thing, it seems impossible to equate which part of Sydney this is running through. Absolutely amazing.

This has been one of the true highlights on some of our very lucky Eco Tours – it really needs a ‘high’ high tide. It is amazing that you are only about 7km from the CBD however you seem to be completely in the wilderness.
Remember – please leave only paddle strokes….
