Frant and I explored the back end of the Barwon River today. Lots of walking. There are a couple of channels, but very twisty and narrow for any decent speeds.

Good fun exploring the river channel through the tidal delta where the Barwon exits the lake. Only trouble was my GPS battery died just as we arrived so I have no recording. Its pretty winding but could have some speed potential as its a 2 metre deep channel about 20 metres wide with (semi) exposed sandbanks on either side.  Further downstream in the river proper the mangroves  on the South bank are about 1.5- 2 metres above waterv level so the wind gets cut but the water would be flat- probably have to take up kite speed sailing to exploit this area although further investigation could be warranted. I reckon a mission using a  speed boat like Tonys from Barwon Heads would be the go.
