The first stop (recommended by the check in lady at our accommodation) was the local marina cafe (who hire out kayaks). No luck there, but we did get some lovely views of some very classy houseboats and an early lunch.
We identified about 5 different potential spots to put the kayak in the water , but the best by far was the amazing canoe launch site by the psyche bend pumping station, (rollers on a ramp down to the water) which couldn't really make it any easier.
The roads are dry at the moment (despite the fact it is mid-winter) , so getting to the site is not a problem either .
It is a little hard to tell what is a walking track and what is a driving track.... this did mean that there was a little reversing out of tight areas required. Glad it isn't wet - there are some VERY DEEP holes in some of those roads from when it was muddy.
We saved the locations of the possible launch sites on the car garmin and headed home via the information centre and the shops.
We picked up a copy of the "Murray River Access" for the area (good river maps) at the info centre, along with some details about Mungo National Park. Will probably head out there some time this week as well.
