Re: creeks and rivers to camp and catch yabbies
If we knew what state and rough location of where you are or where you will be travelling you may get soime meaningful responses.
Somerset Dam near Kilcoy SEQld is a good place for yabbies(redclaw/blueclaw) but of no use if you are in SA
Safe travels

Re: creeks and rivers to camp and catch yabbies
This is another case of people not wanting to reveal there basic location and then asking for help.
However, I do suspect they might be from "sa". But then again they might be from a different state to SA and on there way there.

Re: creeks and rivers to camp and catch yabbies
You buggas are a tad tough on Shonky
He asked a simple question and specifically said in SA. That's narrowed the target area. For this specific question it doesn't matter where Shonky lives or how he gets anywhere... he only wants SA info

Re: creeks and rivers to camp and catch yabbies
Hi shonky12,
This maybe just over the border in Vic, I know the river takes a few bends through the area.
I only stayed here one night and can't vouch for the yabbying.
In Queensland we cought a few and it was no problem. We use those folding nets and check them often, usually per couple of stubbies.
I believe there are regs on the Murray region though as they don't want blokes forgetting the nets and catching Platipie.
But this is a lovely spot.
No facilities and that is my style of camping, just river and trees.
It is easily found in the camps book.

I now have to note that I cannot accept owners ship, truth, quality, or veracity, of articles I may quote off the internet.

If he doesn't live there (sa) then we may be able to give him a closer spot to go to. Is it legal to take yabbies in sa?Old Techo wrote:You buggas are a tad tough on Shonky

As I said, it all boils down to people on this forum who seem to think their privacy is going to be invaded if they give a town/suburb on their profile.

Re: creeks and rivers to camp and catch yabbies
G'day Shonky, there are a lot of places, one of them I know of is over the river from Mannum, one camp on the right of the ferry, dogs alloed (at lest they were a couple of years back) $10 a night toilets only and the creeks at the back are loaded with yabbies, another camp, free, to the left of the ferry, no toilets.
BUT about the campfires, you're out of luck, most places are in fire danger season and will have restrictions in place, check with the local councils or cop shops
Frank
PS you can take yabbies (NOT females with eggs) in any months which has an R in it, so NOT in May, June, July or August

Re: creeks and rivers to camp and catch yabbies
This seems like a simple request, shonky12 whats info about South Australia (sa). I have just had the same problem on the Pajero forum with a question I posted, it seems like some forum members enjoy finding fault with a question instead of trying to assist ?shonky12 wrote:hi

Re: creeks and rivers to camp and catch yabbies
Good morning Shonky 12
You cannot go past any info from the young Frank. Just because he come from the wrong side of town doesn't mean that he is not knowledgeable person
At this of the year for those wishing to free camp be very aware of what fire restrictions are in place in the area that you wish to camp
For owners of camper trailers I understand (am happy to be corrected) that it is illegal here in SA to use a gas stove or even having the fridge on gas on a total fire ban day due to the terminology of an "enclosed building"
Merry Christmas happy new year along with safe and happy travels
regards
