Hi all,
Am planning a river run from
Jugiong to Wagga in a few months, When it starts to warm a bit.
Is there any Weirs in between?
Cheers Wilko

Not a lot of weirs down that way, I'd suggest
www.lpma.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/99729/Murrumbidgee_web.pdf
or the book "Fishing and Camping
Murrumbidgee River -
Gundagai to Narrandera"

We did it a couple of years ago. There are no wiers, but two
great camps on the northern side of the river between
Gundagai and Wagga. From memory, I know that one definitely had a rough
boat ramp [may have been called Wantabadgery] and I would think the other one closer to Wagga would as
well. The river was still quite high and racing, when we crossed it at Wagga this week. There are lots of wineries also on the northern side of the river just out of
Gundagai. Both sides of the river out of
Gundagai are nice drives.
Enjoy your travels.

Hi Ian,
This wont happen until conditions are right (prob spring) We should be able to find plenty of campings spots, The beauty of having a boat is you can
camp where ever you like, find spot and just pull up, It doesnt have to be a reserve or a normal
camping area.

What's your worry about weirs? I think your greatest impediment will be the rapids.

Thanks Peter,
Not too worried about rapids, I've completed dozens of these river runs, did the Meaclay river from up near the styx to the mouth, lots of rapids, Its adds to the excitement.
