Be aware of strong currents and submerged obstacles in the water.

Large numbers of mosquitoes in Northern Victoria have increased the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, particularly around rivers and other water bodies. Mosquitoes can carry diseases that may be passed on to people through mosquito bites.

People should take steps to limit their exposure by wearing long, loose fitting clothes; use mosquito repellents on all exposed skin; limit outdoor activity if lots of mosquitoes are about; sleep under mosquito nets treated with insecticides if you are sleeping in an untreated tent or out in the open.
Mosquito coils can be effective in small outdoor areas where you gather to sit or eat.

Detailed maps of the roads into the area can be purchased from the Yarrawonga Mulwala Information Centre.
