Camp beside
Gregory River.
This site is also one of 4 checkpoints along the 42km course of the
Gregory River Canoe Marathon, this checkpoint is known as Wipeout Bend Rapid.
The
Gregory River Canoe Marathon is held annually on the Labour day weekend attracting thousands of people from all over Australia to the idyllic tropical setting of the banks of the
Gregory River to enjoy a weekend of canoeing, swimming, camping, fishing and partying.
The beauty of the river itself is the main attraction, it is a popular getaway for Mount Isans most of the year thanks to the good fishing, swimming, camping and canoeing.
The
Gregory is fed by underground springs which are situated close to the Northern Territory border, and are part of the Georgina basin. The crystal clear water is fringed with pandanus palms, Livistona Rigida palms, paperbark trees, fig trees and a variety of other flora. The river consists of both shallow and deep
waterholes which are linked by small rapids. Some snags, logs and overhanging pandanus palms are encountered when paddling downstream.
