A paddle on the river after many requests. The tides are good so we will paddle up Simpsons Creek with helping tides both ways so not too strenuous. Bring your canoe, kayak, or paddle board. This is a beautiful waterway and a must do for anyone keen on paddling. Bring good sun protection and the usual lunch and water. If any member has a spare watercraft let me know so we can help the uncrafted. Meet at the end of Mona Lane in the heart of Brunswick Heads on the main river. Very easy access before heading south through town and towards Tyagarah, 8.45 am for a 9.00am start.

Many years since we have come here.  From the trip report in 2017. “The Murray Scrub; a most unmeaning name for a magnificent remnant of subtropical Gondwana rainforest, was our featured walk.  Containing the largest stand of Red Cedars in NSW, Teak, Booyong, Water Gums, Rosewood and Bangalow Palms, Under the cool canopy of these massive trees is an enchanting world of lush green foliage, a fragrant and soft forest floor and shafts of sunshine highlighting some of our extraordinarily precious heritage”.  This is a Saturday walk starting at 9.00am from the Iron Pot Creek campground nearby.  Not a long walk but to take in the beauty of this spot a slow meander of 3hours. After lunch an informative shorter walk of 1 hour again through a magic forest.

​

Addendum: As this is 35minutes west of Kyogle a bit of a drive for some. The Iron Pot Creek campground is my favorite inland camp. I will be camping Friday and Saturday night. A relaxing stay with a busy Saturday at less than $13 for two great value. Book you own site at.  https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/campgrounds/iron-pot-creek-campground
