Does this count as a water crossing?
It is actually the Dawson River believe it or not. This part is in the Expedition National Park and I camped the night in the river earlier this week.

Well this isn't a crossing as such. Like the irishman swimming the English Channel, we got half way, got tired so turned back!

Fultons Creek on the way to Licola one year when we could lol . . . The crossing before was the Alberfeldy at Merringtions from memory where AB took the gutsy deep line and got pushed in by a hidden log, the look of fear and tangled arms madly swinging the wheel was priceless, but couldn't find a pic damit. . . .

Think different trip but heading to Licola againg the fun way. . . Matty crossing the Macalister at Burgoynes. . .

Drop in now and again_Greetings all

Do not be deceived by the markers (0.35m) at ford edge - local knowledge so need to add good 200mm at the middle) @ 600mm have seen a L.crab w/Tray wash off (water moves thru fast).
No digital camera back in the day.


Having so much rain this year, crossed this last night (essential mail run) 100mm lower and loved my recently installed 43% 2nd LR crawl.

Sorry no pics but was sitting watching this block of wood resting up against ford edge (upstream) and next thing a wheel sized stump popped up and washed over top of ford. Pays to watch what is going on but guess should have walked it to check for fence wire as well. All was good.
