Water crossings near Melbourne

Submitted: Friday, Aug 01, 2003 at 10:32

PJ

Am looking for Water crossings close to Melboune. Took family to Telangi last weekend and sloshed through heaps of mud - couldn't find water. Did a course some time ago and went across river up that way - do you think I can find it now! I couldn't even find the national park!! Do you think I'm past help - perhaps GPS is the only answer for me. My attitude is don't ask - never know - fool for a minute or fool for a life time I say.

You can try Coopers Creek Walhalla.. and out of Woods Point theres a few, but none are deep at the moment.

This is it when it was shallow, but it wouldnt be this deep now, it was over the bonnet of the lifted GQ at its peak
