Kauri Creek is the largest creek in our cruising area. There are a number of suggested mooring spots. Just inside the mouth is a comfortable anchorage with deep water close to the southern bank. This anchorage is well protected from southerly winds.

Further up the creek there is a deep water anchorage near the Red Bank and again further up near Hedley boat ramp. Here there is a beach and grassed camping area, and is well protected from NE -NW winds.

To enter Kauri Creek there are 4 red markers on the southern side of the channel. The water is quite shallow on the way in as you go past the red markers so be careful. If progressing further up the creek, keep and eye out for sand banks as they do shift.

If you spend some time in Kauri Creek, you may be lucky enough to see some dolphins. If you stand on the boarding platform and splash the water with your hand (if your in luck) "Old Silver" may come over. She will take fish from your hand and you might even be able to stroke her back.
