Went down to
Goolwa and drove along
the beach for the first time. Hoped to get to the
Murray Mouth. Got a few km's up but it became quite soft. As I was alone I turned around. Tide wasn't that low so I had to drive close to the dunes.
What I was wanting to know is how hard it is to get to the Mouth from
Goolwa and how far is it. If I planned to go down there on low tide then does that help?
thanks,

I went for drive down to the mouth a couple of weeks ago on the outgoing tide. The high had been right up to the sandhills which I thought was unusual given the estimated tide height and summer.
Due to this I found I was driving on soft wet sand, and yes it was boggy around the fence.
Try on a hot summers day with a gentle northerly, it'll be like a freeway.
I think its 12ish km and its the same all the way, but then again beaches can change daily.
