It's also the way into the Hawkesbury River but unfortunately, Venture is just too tall to get under the bridge.
We stopped at Refuge Bay first where you can pick up a mooring a stones throw from a really pretty waterfall.
We saw quite a few sea eagles in Broken Bay. This pair was building their nest.
Lots of small inlets and the creeks can go for miles. We went at least 3 miles up Smiths Creek from the moorings.
At the end of Cowan Creek, there's a marina complex called Bobbin Head. It's close to a park and all nestled in a beautiful valley with walking trails and shallow creeks fringed by mangroves. We took the dinghy in there for a shower (best ever..) and fell in love with the place. This is just the ride back, Terry will be posting all the pics and a much more coherent story :-)
The inlets and creeks are so deep here that we just had to try to get close to the edge. Keep in mind that sail boats have a natural aversion to rocks and stuff!
