Trail Notes
Launch Site:
Clayton Bay Waterfront Reserve (boat ramp) GPS: 35.4970 S; 138.9235 E
Trail Points:
The trail starts at the Clayton Bay Waterfront Reserve and heads in a south easterly direction to the entrance of Boundary Creek.
Follow the numbered beacons and Rat Island will appear about 4.3 k from the launch point. The entrance to Boundary Creek is behind the island at Point A about one kilometre further on (GPS: 35.5298 S; 138.9669 E).
The entrance may be obscured by reeds but it is marked by an unlit navigation beacon near the entrance. Be aware that there is an abundance of reeds in Boundary Creek itself and the water can be quite shallow in places.
From the entrance to Boundary creek it is only 3.5k to the Ewe Island barrage, a suitable spot for a lunch break before returning to your launch site back at Clayton Bay.
Note: the islands on either side of the creek are privately owned. The other creeks in the area are not navigable due to reeds.
Caution
The weather forecast should be checked prior to departure as winds can pick up quickly in this area.

Clayton
history (see Murray River Pilot for more details. This publication covers the Murray River from Goolwa to the SA/NSW Border, plus Lower Murray Lake and Coorong)
Clayton was named for Captain Sturt’s carpenter, apparently a generously built and amiable gentleman with simple pleasures.
Clayton is the staging post for the Mundoo and Boundary Creeks, principal channels in a maze of reeds and waterways leading once to the Coorong in the lee of Hindmarsh Island, but closed today by the Murray Mouth Barrages.
Islands near the Murray Mouth
Rat Island of the eastern tip of Hindmarsh Island was once called Ram Island because this is where the rams were set aside. This is also a clue to the naming of Ewe and Lucerne Islands and Boundary Creek!
Islands in this region were paddocks and the creeks and channels were fences. The fun came in shifting stock from ‘paddock to paddock’. Rankine’s Ferry, today a cluster of old stone buildings on the slope of Hindmarsh Island was a crossing in days gone by with the farmers swimming stock to the mainland. In dry seasons stock perished here without fresh water, but local farmers persevered through the seasons. Indeed members of the Rankine family, who once rented the land, went on to purchase Hindmarsh Island to establish it as a separate run.

First sunset of 2020......it’s the beginning of a new year, but a tough start to many around our country who are affected by fires. As you can see by this shot, the smoke haze from the KI fires is still hanging around. .

Spring has sprung – or rather, bounced, as is the case for our #southernbellfrog project at #claytonbay in SA.
This week, 32 Southern Bell #frogs that have been carefully raised from tadpoles and monitored in a hatchery since the tadpole stage will be placed outside into natural breeding pens. It is there we hope they will breed and produce eggs that will be the next generation of Southern Bell Frogs.
Once eggs are laid, they will be moved to the hatchery and nurtured through to tadpoles and then froglets, a stage at which they will be released into the wild at strategic locations.
The Southern Bell #frog project is unique in #southaustralia and will build on the excellent work of our on-ground partners, the Clayton Bay Nursery & Environment Group and Clayton Bay Community Association who are revegetating parts of our local area.
For more information on the Southern Bell Frog project, visit the project page of the website via link in bio.

The #Fleurieu hugs so much water. Have you been to #ClaytonBay⛵️It’s a gem of a spot and a perfect place to picnic and watch the #MightyMurray and it’s bird life and sailing boats. There’s lots more to the #Peninsula than you realise. Start the car, it’s time to explore!

Self isolation is the best thing we can do at the moment to help one another, so let’s all take a minute to enjoy some peace and quiet, work on something creative, and wash our hands. 👍

What do you like about yourself?
Could you write a list of qualities, skills, attributes that you are grateful for? That you are proud of?
OK, how did you go?
What I have noticed is that often we find it much easier to think about the things we DON’T like about ourselves….
LETS FLIP THIS!!!
Treat yourself with thoughts and actions that are nourishing, kind and loving - in the same way you would treat someone you love and care for x

“Keep in mind that, when you practice yoga,
you’re not practicing to improve yourself.
You are perfect.
The practice is there to help you know that.”
