BUNDARRA

Callaghans Rd to Omeo Highway Bridge

This is a great short  Grade 3+ -4 section for those people looking to run a section more than once in a day, or simply looking to step up from rivers like the king or Mitta.
The River is a boulder type creek, with some larger drops and some consistent boulder gardens. Most Rapids are fun and fairly straight forward, although at lower water you should be vigilant for pin potential. Keep an eye out for logs and trees ( as you would in any other river), and always scout the bigger rapids depending on the water levels.

You can run the river at levels above 0.9 on the Mitta Hinnomunjie Gauge. However, at the lower levels it is a little bit more scrapey.

The shuttle is straight forward but on a dirt rd, approx 15min.  Put in off Callagans Rd ( off the Omeo Highway). Approx 4km the road comes out into farm land. Inside the fence that marks the division to farm land an old track winds it ways approx 200m down to the Put in.  Take out is at the Bundarra River Bridge Picnic are off the Omeo Highway
