A short paddle for about 2 Km upstream and then about 3 Km downstream from the bridge which crosses Wisemans Ferry road near Spencer.
Interesting to see the upper reaches of Calna Creek. Due to tides I've only ever made it as far as the bridge.
another nice little trip . thanks for sharing
Hi, Is it public access to launch from the Milk Factory, or do you need permissions to do so? Thanks
I don't think the launch spot is public access, but we have been launching there (at least 10 times) over the last 3 years and the owners don't seem to mind. The manager has seen us launching the kayaks and his only comment was to look out for the platypus which have been seen around the top of the weir.
great video guys. shes a DEEP river
another nice one . Thanks for showing . We finally went up there for a paddle on the 9th of Nov. two days later . Such a relaxing beautiful paddle I will put up a video of our paddle soon when I get time to edit it . Happy paddling
ARE DER SHORKS OR CRACKERDILES HERE??!!1111
wow the spring bird song and screech :)
another nice little adventure . That's what we call bush kayaking , its like bushwalking ,over and under logs picking your track but in a kayaK . We love getting up creeks like tht as far as the yak can take ya :) good one
Nice one . Yep sometimes we have to remind ourselves to look at the reflections or we forget to notice them
Thank you, another great video.
nice one ! that's one of the great things about kayaking . Even in the middle of a major city you can find natural wilderness, peace and quiet to escape from the hussle and bussle .
Thanks for your comment. I've been watching the clips on your camping/kayaking trip up the north coast. I agree, it is very depressing when you come across dumped rubbish in such beautiful places.
Thank you for bringing back many memories of this wonderful creek. Chasing bream, flathead and wild bass in floods, piles creeks and further upstream from where you turned around. If you are up for the challenge, you can carry/drag your kayaks up the main walking trail and you will find a very long pool to explore. I do not know what it is like now on that pool, but there used to be a big boulder in the middle of the pool. I set up a weber go-anywhere bbq on it and cooked a leg of lamb for lunch. It was hilarious when some hikers walked passed and they could smell the lamb cooking.
Thanks for the comments. We love Mooney Mooney, both upstream and downstream from the bridge. There are a few other videos of recent trips on the channel, especially ones of Piles Creek, you may be interested in viewing.
So beautiful and pristine from both up in the air and on the water. I really love the aerial shots of the local peninsula and in 4k too. Fantastic to see. It touches my heart to see Ettalong and the surrounding areas like this, especially when living abroad at the moment. Thank you so much and look forward to more of your uploads, hopefully in 4k (or 2k) would be perfect :)
Wow ! Reflections. The perfect paddle . Wow!
always like it when you put out a new video Mooney Mooney , still on my bucket list , I might have to wait until next spring though
Agreed, bucket list without doubt. Is it an easy launch? Kayaking Central Coast NSW another great video thanks guys.
Thanks, my parents live on this river. Can I ask why you stopped where you did? Can you get further up?
Thanks for the comment. We stopped because it became too difficult to negotiate the fallen timber. The distance reached on 21 March 2024 was as shown in the google maps trace in the video. On our next trip I'll take note of the coordinates for reference. Is your parent's property this far up the river?
Hi, can you send a pinpoint of how far up you managed to go?
Great video, thank you. Im only new the kayaking and I have been looking at paddling up that way. Can the public launch from that area at the Milk Factory above the weir without issue?
The owners of the Milk Factory don't seem to mind us launching there. However the steep last 30 metres down to the launch area is sometimes barricaded off and you may need to wheel the kayaks down this last section, as we did on the trip shown.
@@kayakingcentralcoastnsw4222 Thank you for your reply, I'll have to check it out
nice one . I love paddling in places like that . tha fallen trees adding to the adventure and coming across a cantankerous pelican :) .
Thanks for the comment. Hope you are enjoying your trip to the Mid North Coast. Look forward to seeing the videos when you get back.
A nice little exploration . Thanks for showing us
Nice little Paddle . I see you got yourself a drone . Nice one .
Nice one . would have loved to have seen a shot of the cave , What creek was that cave on ? Subscribed Thanks
Very nice
nice video . we hope to get there this summer at some stage . do you know if there are any suitable places to camp in hammocks around there ? somewhere a bit high and dry with a couple of trees and a bit of space to sit to cook food ?
Thanks for your comment. I watched a couple of your videos. Looks like you really enjoy a few days away on the water. There is a spot about 100 m to the front of the wreck where you have some level ground and a few trees suitable for hammocks. We had morning tea there. Maurie
@@kayakingcentralcoastnsw4222 Thanks for letting me know . Now I can plan for an overnighter when we go there . I hope you enjoyed our vids . Yes we love kayaking and camping . its a great way to stay at some lovely secluded places . We are heading up to port Maquarie with our kayaks and camping gear and hope to get a few nights out on the water around there . will post some more videos after the new year . All the best Maurie
Good video guys I have never seen that wreck up close before
nice little vid and paddle
lovely video . that was so nice i watched it twice
nice video gave us a great look . might have to go kayak camping up there this summer (subscribed ) love seeing local kayak videos and places to go .
Loved the video - scenery just great - where did you launch from and what's best time of day to set off - if you don't mine ?
Hi Barra - The Google Earth zoom in the video clip shows the position of the launch ramp which is about half way between the 2 bridges. We set off about an hour before high tide so we can get as far up the creeks as possible. Last week we travelled upstream. This coming Thurs. we intend going downstream to Piles Creek and Christie Gulley. If you'r interested in joining us, I'll send more detail. Maurie
Thanks for reply Maurie - had trouble reading details on video but worked it out on google maps - thank you for invite can't make Thurs but one day I will explore up that way and I will give you a bell Barra@@kayakingcentralcoastnsw4222
Nice to see you and the gang back out again, I really enjoy watching your ittle trips
Thanks Brendan for your comment. We plan to get out most Thursdays over the summer this year. Maurie
Thank you for doing that run up the creek. At the very end of the creek up to the left is Dillons farm and they used to row down to Patonga every morning to deliver milk to the Patonga village people. Amazing that they went the same way you went, but the creek was deeper back then.
Thanks for the info! We love this paddle and do it about twice a year, but it does require a very high tide to get this far.
That waterway was my teenage playground,knew it intimately from Galston gorge to Crosslands ,know all the aboriginal sites along there as well ,summertime when the air is still and heavy the Bass bite furiously from the gorge down to the rapids,and in autumn when it’s cooler the mullet do the same at Crosslands,glad to see others enjoying the place
Thanks John for your comment. It's good to know others are interested in our kayaking adventures. We go somewhere most Thursday mornings, but the creeks and gullies off Berowra waters are some of our favourites.
fantastic guys really enjoy your little trips you do together
Thanks Brendan for your comment. It's good to know others are interested in our kayaking adventures. We go somewhere most Thursday mornings,
