Rivermouth Campground Myall Lakes, Walk in or Paddle in. 8kms, Full Backpack.

On this event we will have the opportunity to spend Friday night at Boomeri Campsite on the Broadwater Lake before either walking in or paddling into the isolated Rivermouth Campsite.

The plan is to arrive at Boomeri Campsite from 5PM on Friday 31 October. We can setup camp, have dinner and maybe also have a swim in the warm waters of the Broadwater Lake. Boomeri is an unallocated campsite and individual sites do not need to be booked. It is also generally fairly quiet and uncrowded and there is no limit on vehicles. The campground has a water tank and composting pit toilet. NB The Bombah Point Ferry stops operating at 6PM so it is strongly suggested that you come to Boomeri via Hawks Nest and not Bulahdelah.

On Saturday morning we will pack up camp and get the Bombah Point Ferry to NRMA Myall Shores where a late breakfast or morning tea and coffee can be had. Please note that for those people who do not want to spend Friday night at Boomeri, it is fine if you meet us at Leggey's Barefoot Cafe (1414 Bombah Point Road) at 10.30AM.

We will then drive the short distance to the start of Mouth of River Trail where the 4km walk to Rivermouth Campsite commences. The people intending to paddle in to the campsite will start from next to NRMA Myall Shores and will do the 4km paddle to the campsite. I intend paddling in and I will take a large supply of firewood. Rivermouth is an isolated campsite that can only be reached by foot or boat. It has a composting toilet, a water tank and has fairly large and spacious campsites.

On Sunday we will packup and walk or paddle back to our vehicles. We then have the opportunity of driving back via Bulahdelah where we can do the walk to the top of Mount Alum and visit the indigenous tree carvings. Lunch can also be had at the Bulahdelah Pub.

You can PayID this money to 0439543695. If I don't receive any money I will assume that you have booked your own site.

This is a full backpack hiking event, you will need to carry all your camping and cooking gear and food from lunchtime Saturday to Breakfast Sunday into Rivermouth Camping Ground. You will also need food for friday night dinner and Saturday morning breakfast at Boomeri. There is a water tank at the campgrounds but you will need to boil or purify the water. If you don't want to risk the tank water at Rivermouth you will need to take in about four litres of water.

There will be a $20 gratuity for this event.
