Went for a swim today at one of my favourite creeks

Awesome spot...God I love this great country!!

No crocks? Too far inland? Too far South? Too Idyllic?

You missed one - freshwater croc. I'm reasonably comfortable swimming in areas inhabited by freshies, but not areas where salties are known to inhabit.

Could be the odd freshy in some of the deeper holes
Meh...worries me not!
This place is as good as it looks Bushmiller
Can't tell you where it is though
Local secret this one

The Brisbane river is at the bottom of my street, maybe 500 yards. We used to go swimming there but the $%^& water authority have fenced our side off. You have to cross the weir and climb down the hill on the other side. Very annoying.


Of course it recently came a bit closer to my house for a week or so

As a kid Mt Crosby was a favourite haunt of mine
Some very pretty spots along the banks of the Brisbane River
Aaaah the memories

Off to another one of my favourite spots in the morning to take my hound for a swim
The local weir
Will post pics of it when I return home
Love the Australian landscape

The fence is to stop the river coming up too high.

Der, don't you know 'nuffin.

Couple more pics
The pooch had a ball
I had to stay on the sideline though and watch
Be back swimming in a month hopefully
The amount of fish in this system is staggering
Some good sized Perch I spotted close to the bank
Maybe 30cm in length...a few a bit bigger
I reckon there would be cherapin in there too

For us poor people who live further south (near Tamworth but in the hills) I don't think swimming would be the activity but we would be close to ice skating.
[That's an exaggeration but it highlights our very diverse beautiful country]

How is your convalescence coming on Chris?

Log Dog, that reminds me of a spot near Mt. Mulligan, west of Cairns. Probably not the same spot, but similar looking country.

AlexS...you are bang on the money...Chillagoe is the spot,not far from Mt Mulligan.
Wonderful country out this way with an abundance of wildlife and scenery to blow one's mind.
Hope your memories of the area are fond ones
