Mulwala, Ovens and Murray Rivers

On a trip to suss out some other fishing and boat launching sites around Lake Mulwala for the Murray Cod opening season after the extensive storm damage from March this year means that this great camping spot remains closed. The season begins on the 1st of December, see last years post Here. There are some good spots on the NSW side on the Murray at Collendina State Forest and Williamson and Snake Islands worth checking out.

The road less travelled.
