Kayak - Killara to Wonga Wetlands

Killara to Wonga Wetlands kayak trip.
 
Total stream length is 17km - about 3 hours paddling.
 
Streams we will be exploring are:
 
Kiewa River 5km
Murray River 1km
Wodonga Creek 7km
Carrolls Creek 3km
Dead River (old Murray R channel)  1km
 
I have arranged a lunch spot approx. 10km into the trip; opposite Diamond Park on Wodonga Creek with permission from the land owner.
 
The owner has even offered to fire up the BBQ for us; even collect our food, drinks, eskies etc for us.  It's a nice spot.
 
The trip is not for beginners due to it's duration and river hazards such as the numerous snags and willows in the Kiewa and fast currents most likely to be experienced in the Wodonga Creek.  Double canoes would not be suitable.  I've done the trip before in both kayak and sit ons - they are both suitable.
 
We would meet at Gateway Is Tourist info car park at 9.30am; embark at 10.30am from Killara on the Kiewa River; lunch for an hour from 12.30pm on Wodonga Creek; arrive at Dead River near Wonga Wetlands at around 2pm; returning to Gateway Island at 3-30pm.
 
We probably should add an hour to the schedule to be on the safe side for people who may have a connecting cruise, somewhere !
 
I still need to check arrangements at the Dead River end - but I don't envisage problems here - land is managed by AW Parklands and leased out.  There is a locked gate and I will check my keys soon.
