Distances
Distance table going via Lake Cawndilla
The following distances are based on starting from the boat ramp at Menindee and paddling down to the outlet channel of Lake Menindee (Little Menindee Creek), across the lake and down towards the Anabranch via Lake Cawndilla. You miss 30 km of the top section of the Great Darling Anabranch going this way.
The track measured for the two lakes follows the shortest shoreline approx. 1 km from the edge of the lakes when filled. A straight line across will cut ~2 km off the distance for these legs.
Like the other distance table, the final leg is paddling upstream on the Darling to reach Wentworth.
