Thank you Jules, Matt has promised to check in with a few pictures. He is a fabulous photographer, so they will be worth waiting for. Maybe he will add a few comments too. Matt? Duke, Sally's throwbag and NOLS bottle were exactly where she left them when we came through the Enkidu on the 13th. Just ...

Our party of three travelled from the Franklin River Bridge on the Lyell Highway to Heritage Landing (Lower Gordon) over eight days. The Jane River Track is becoming quite rough in places, but a few fresh boot prints were noticed as far as the Erebus. A post-lunch start resulted in our first camp sh...

The Jane, early 1990s.

I did the Murchison just with my wife, about 15 years ago. It's a great paddle, but it's a job to get in and a job to get out! I doubt it's been done very often in the last 15 years, so you should find it quite pristine. We dropped in from the saddle between Horizontal Hill and the Guardians. You ca...

Allow at least 2 spare days up your sleeve in case of difficult conditions. The gorges are tight and portages can be h...

I agree that you definitely need a paddle that will fit inside a rucsac, for negotiating scrub. Canoe...

I am also pleased to see some quality traffic in this forum, Blackwood. I've neglected the North-west rivers for many years and would like to travel a few of those. Unfortunately life is such that I can generally only chip away with one significant wilderness trip per year! I can recommend dropping ...

Hello Duke, I recognise the Crossing River Gorge, and the other pictures therefore clearly describe a trip down the Crossing and Davey Rivers to Port Davey. Thanks for sharing this lovely collection of photographs! I paddled those rivers in about 1984, before these interesting boats became available...
