G'day guys. This is a little late but much has happened here in recent weeks and this is the first opportunity I have had to post.
After a few emails and phone calls, John turned up here one morning and after the obligatory cup of tea, we headed off down the Mary Valley for a couple of days camping and paddling in the upper reaches of what is, in my opinion, one of the nicest rivers we have in this area. The plan was to drive to a roadside park in the mountains near the small town of Kenilworth, then organise put ins and take outs from there.
The road trip is about 2.5 hours in duration and after a quick feed at a truck stop near Gympie, where we enjoyed a burger,
we and our cars were well fuels for the remaineder of the trip.
We left Johns car at the camp spot and drove about another 10 miles or so to the first put in near Connondale. This is about the very upper reach of the river that is paddleable. and we put in in a real nice little pond.
A few shots of the Great Man in these pristine waters.
And a couple of the waters we paddled.
more to come
