Information

Concrete causeway across the river is usually high and dry but big floods can submerge the crossing. Large holes in concrete are dangerous, hence the closure. Goes under when water level exceeds 2 m about 4 years in 5 early in the year but by the time tourist season begins in June the waters have receded. This is another possible free camp location. Flat and accessible.
