Creeks to swim in - GT

[Keitzy]

Anyone know of any creeks good enough to take Ma daughter for a lil dip in.? Was thinking the Loddon at Newstead under the bridge might be a goer.. anyone tried there, know if the waters suitable or of any where better.?

Yep ..... There is a fantastic Council swimming pool made in the Loddon river at Bridgwater.
Heading North turn right just before the bridge, between the bakery and pub.
There is a toilet and shelter as well.
Enjoy

Or a bit further West of Newstead, where the Pyrenees Hwy crosses Cairn Curran at Joyces Creek?

 

[Keitzy]

Is there water that far west in joyces ? Crossing it the other day near newstead she was bone dry :/ .. Might be worth a look c but, thats not to far. Cheers

Where it runs into Cairn Curran.

Just below Laanecoorie Weir used to be pretty good. Haven't been there for years though.

Lake Eppalock - not a creek but usually nice.

 

[Keitzy]

Cairn Curran aint far, that end of joyces might be worth a look. cheers

Cairn Curran and Eppalock both have a blue/green algae warning atm, no swimming etc.

When the temps get up later in the day we most always go to The Old Lead Reservoir for a dip, just 1.5 km out of Dunolly.
One of the best camping [free] spots in the GT, but no facilities.

Thanks for the update Redfin

 

[Keitzy]

I thought that was Camperdown meh

 

[Redfin]

It really is a nice place to camp.
Mrs. Redfin loved the atmosphere early in the morning.
