Explore
While waiting on COVID, time to explore some areas in QLD!
To date most of my focus was on pure training on the Bremer River but I've been slowly going further afield to find new places to train and explore. So while doing this, I thought I'd put together some kayak specific notes for each new location when I had time. I hope people find these useful!
Mostly early pre-planning notes on many locations have been compiled already. I've organised these into broad location based categories.
Brisbane
This section will be expanded to include rivers bewtween Caboolture and other coastal rivers and creeks north of the Logan River.
Logan
The lower Logan River is a large tidal river that marks the boundary between the Logan and Gold Coast council areas. This section includes rivers within that catchment.
Sunshine Coast
A wide array of options including the tidal estuary at Bribie Island, sea cliffs around Noosa Heads, the tidal Maroochy River and even the everglades of Noosa River.
Gold Coast
Similarily to the Sunshine Coast, there is a wide array of tidal estuaries and creeks, as well as more exposed coastal paddling options and a number of lakes in the hinterland to expore.
Inland Waterways
There are a number of lakes in the catchment that make for pleasant paddling destinations:
The Burnett
This covers the much of the Fraser Coast including Hervey Bay and Great Sandy Strait. The Burnett and Mary are the two major rivers in this region.
