Navigating the Barwon River. Bridge clearance & Bar crossing.

Here is a video on the information you need to be able to navigate the Barwon river safely, from the Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove boat ramps into the Ocean. Including bridge clearance, some local hazards and navigational aids that are available.
2021 UPDATE
When I'm typing this the video is 4 years old so please be aware of how old the video is when you watch it. The message stays the same know whats available to you before you go so you can navigate safely.
There are some additional markers in the river which is great to see and I would suggest you stick by them and know how to use them. They are protecting you from what appears to be some rough rocky shallow bottom that has been exposed.
Some links to vital information.

Absolutely brilliant mate no bullshit and all the important stuff you need without any fluff. Glad I watched this before I headed down.

Very good video man. there is a lost of common sense and important and very useful information in this video. Highly recommend for people boating the barwon river especially if you are unfamiliar with the aria. Good stuff mate hope to see mor videos like this

[@ogspearos1235]

C P thanks for the input mate much appreciated.

Mate this has to be one of the best educational videos I've watched, thank you so much! Which would you say is the safer option to get across to bass strait barwon heads or the rip. I've been fishing the bays in my 5.2 signature for a while now but never attempted a bar crossing before would be awesome to hear back from you!

Good job guys keep up the good stuff

Watch out for cray pots. At low tide the ropes loop quite a long way. Easy to tangle motor.

Beware - I recently got a new plotter, and C-MAP charts. For this area they are no good. Heaps of missing details, and no channel, or lateral marks in the river. I asked C-MAP about it, and they said it’s because they are lacking detail in that area. Sheesh!

[@mikhailkoslovskiy7860]
