Coorong National Park

Hi George,

I am to looking at going fishing down there sometime soon as well. Has been a few months since I was last there need my fishing fix!!

The 42 Mile crossing as far as I know doesn't get wet and is dry all year round (always has been when I have gone down there anyway). You might be thinking of Tea Tree crossing which is seasonally under water etc. Not sure on depth etc at the moment. The only obstacle at 42 mile crossing is a medium sized sand hill to get over but definitely nothing to worry about if you are prepared for sand driving.

Hope this helps.

The photo of tee tree crossing is about 6 weeks ago 400 metres wide & about half way up wheel . But you would need to pick your day to go on to the beach , in winter the water is a lot higher and in places the water will be up to the dunes . tides ,wind, moon will make a big difference ..... you will need good luck , dont go on your own , its a minimum of 80 odd ks to the Murray mouth from tee tree . a lot easier in summer months .

cheers & good luck

Now come on George, old timers disease , you young whipper snapper you. My darling and I are off in late September for a couple of weeks as well.

Just a note for those unaware........
"It is important to note that the ocean beach from Tea Tree Crossing up to the Murray Mouth is closed to vehicles from 24 October to 24 December each year. This stretch is the breeding ground of the Hooded Plover."
