| MANGROVE CREEK - DELIVERENCE COUNTRY Launching
from the old farm boat ramp at Ashby, we turn up Mangrove creek passing
old style cabins nestled in the forest. We come across old cane barges
moored on the river bank. Your guide tells stories of how these barges
worked the Clarence River. So abundant is the bird and insect life that
at certain times of the year their calls can be deafening. Whilst exploring
every turn and twist of the river the forest closes in to form a canopy
overhead. Azure Kingfishers, osprey, eagles and ducks are all very active
on this river system. We enjoy a relaxing refreshment break on the bank
where you can have a swim or wander through the forest. Returning to
the kayaks we savour the solitude as we paddle back down stream
