Pack rafting the BEST river in South East Queensland - an incredible adventure!

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

After further investigation, I was mislead to believe that fires were allowed in Sundown National Park. Fires are indeed banned in all areas except for designated fire places.

[@devinecreative236]

Can you let me know where you started and where you finished? Keen to give it a go

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

We started at Nundubbermere and ended at Broadwater. Sundown level at Ballandeen was about 0.75m. I hope that helps.

Thanks Grant, appreciate it! Cheers.

Awesome Vid! I spend a lot of time up in Yamba but have never been to here. Will need to go and check it out on my next trip!

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

Thanks Mowser! There is a lot of great stuff out near Stanthorpe. Highly recommend checking it out. Cheers.

[@markmeyer698]

Awesome stuff! I hoping to get down there and kayak the river + hike Mt Donaldson

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

Thanks Mark, it was my first time at Sundown. Also keen to get out to Donaldson- will probably do that soon. Cheers!

Hi Aaron, I have pack rafted on some of this river a while ago, a little bit less water on $19 Kmart blow up boats, we walked upstream from the Broadwater campsite for a few hours and camped overnight. We then packrafted downstream the next day, what fun it was until our bodgy cheap boats lost a lot of their air. What brand and type are the pacrkrafts that you used?

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

Hey! It surely is a great river. We were using alpacka rafts. I was using the classic. Fantastic boats but they aren’t cheap!

[@antswildsounds4283]

@@AaronGrayOutdoors I will check them out. I don't usually use cheap gear, but it was a bit of a trial to see what pack rafting was like before committing to better gear. Thanks for the reply!

[@dirtydogg06]

As always good to see you mate. That looked really cool although I was thinking you were going to get hit by a branch or poked in the eye!! Awesome as always bud👍🏾

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

Thanks bud. I did get poked in the cheek on the first day. There were quite a few trees to deal with. Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!

Just caught up on this video, what an amazing adventure. How much of this did you shoot with the Sony A7 and did you use to keep it dry/safe from being smashed by rocks? I would be too scared to bring such a camera if there were rapids!

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

Thanks mate! Not a lot to be honest, mainly just the camp and break shots were shot on the camera. Both the Sony and the drone were secured in the yellow drybag on the bow. Just shot on the GoPro and iPhone whilst on the river.

Where is this?

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

Sundown National Park

[@seanhounslow1313]

@@AaronGrayOutdoors never seen that much water there, amazing

[@debbiehurst7169]

Fires in the national park. Mmmmmm. Thats not right.

[@debbiehurst7169]

Im sorry. You are wrong. You need to look up Parks Qld website. Fires only allowed in firepits only in campgrounds, and no firewood to be collected in a national park.

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

@@debbiehurst7169 I’ve had a further look into it and you are correct. I was obviously misled by others on this issue. The last thing I want to do is spread misinformation or not obey the rules. Thanks for letting me know. I will update this video with a pinned comment.
