Looks like a beautiful place. Funny listening to the two little smurfs driving in. Recognise those voices anywhere. 😜👍. A shame you have to carry your gear so far. We’ve never been there. Will have to put it on our list. 😃👍
We are the chipmunks lol. Its a nice spot only the slow 5klm drive in was the PIA, would not attempt in bad weather and a 2WD. Location is bang in the middle of the Kangaroo River, great launch spot. Portage a bit of a pain.
That's one 'ell of a long drive down to park the car... and then walk down to the river is 180m - fully loaded - even with a trolley, you're gonna be doing that trek (at least) twice to get on the water from there, for an overnight paddle. Seems like a good place to camp if you're gonna Day Paddle out from there. Then the 180m might just be one trip down to the water. But then, as you said, the trek back up would be damn bloody 🤯🤯🥵 Ah well, it's a good place to stop for a picnic when you're already on the river, as we've all done before. 🤪🤪 Thanks for taking us for a look see. 😁😉
Thanks for showing Deb I dont think we will be launching our kayaks there unless we have no other choice . Good to know its up and running again thanks
It is a nice location for a day paddle, but if your out for a few days overnight, the portage of canoe/kayak AND camp gear would be a bit taxing IMHO but i am older than dirt and getting a bit over a crappy long portage now, young things be a breeze 😉😉 for the next few months, other than Bendeela its the closest to the Shoalhaven till they open the Tallowa damn road 😬
@@DebOxy oh ok so is the Tallowa damn road still closed ? bugga . might have to launch from beehive if we head that way .. hopefully the Tallowa damn road will be open by spring
@@BushKayakersCampingAustralia Still closed. It was scheduled for three months from early April but with the horrendous rain the extensive excavations has been held up, Drop Nat Parks an email for confirmation. By spring it will defiantly be open. There are three Kayak Tour Companies in the Valley that need it open ASAP.
Being kind of local its not a bad drive, would not like to see the road any worse tho, we averaged about 15kph. I would do a day paddle, but make sure i take a big strong guy with me 😉
Nice spot. Would be interesting to metal detect the water there, I reckon there would have been plenty of swimming and water activities over the years. Alvin and the chipmunks sounded a bit cranky at times on the drive down there though...
Its a beautiful location, years gone by you used to be able to park close to the water, since the bad bush fires went through there are many widow makers now, to many for national parks to remove. Yes ive thought about taking the equinox, no good in the water as it drops off deep tho.
Ah, just watched the last little bit, and did notice the speedo was never over 20kms/hour.... Wow... and then the 2 big potholes at the end... and taking the smaller of the 2.... 😂 Nearly got ya airborne.... 😆 Geez.

Is it open? Hopefully not defiantly open😊
@@Kirsty-q7f yes Beehive is open, so is Tallowa Dam and also access via Bendeela camp ground
