Hi all - half way through our maiden voyage and presently at Ilfacombe east of Longreach - interested in reports on Jerico River from anyone who has camped there recently. Sick of lugging 2 kayaks across QLD and with the exception of one place, they have not seen a drop of water ..... plenty of dust, plenty of road kill and flies, but no water! Any alternate ideas for boatable water between here and NSW border during the next 6 weeks??
Thanks

Gday...
Jericho camp on the Jordan River (not the Showgrounds) is a very good camp - donation, flushing toilets, cold showers.
I don't kayak but the river is pretty good and you should be able to launch and paddle quite a fair way.
thanks for that ..... looks like Jerico is a go ................. hope to see/meet any GNs there possible next Tuesday on .....

Your Kayaks sound like my golf clubs - I have found weather cool enough to play in here at Yanchep but now it is raining!!!!! Us Kiwis are winter golfers..... and after the endless warm summer I have been travelling - -- well that is my excuse for not playing!

Sometimes you get a bit of water in the Barcoo at Isisford, a good little free camp though

A couple of photos to give some idea.
