Dardenne Creek Blueway access point

"Sandfort Creek "Access" Cons: I'm not sure what the plan here was or if there even was one. They won't let vehicles up by the access so you have to walk your boats 370ft uphill to get to a very slippery staircase that goes down into the water.

There did happen to be water there when I v"
