Distance Table

Stores, distances & coordinates below are only approximations from using various maps and online tools, but should be accurate enough for the trip.

Coordinates will generally be at a takeout point or bridge for most locations. Some small towns could be obscured by the river banks, so some care needs to be taken while navigating down the river.

Starting point is Urangan Boat Ramp in Hervey Bay, traversing south to the Mary River mouth (River Head), across to Wanggoolba Creek, K'gari (Venture Ferry), before following the slightly longer western route, (5 km), past the towns on the western inland side down to Inskip Point (southern tidal entrance) before heading down the south west inlet to Tin Can Bay and Poverty Point (near Cooloola).
