The Cam River, G1-2+, 17km

The club rafted the Cam on the last day of the 2004 winter trip. Like much of Tasmania the river was in flood with brown water, The put in is after a steep kilometre long walk in from a forestry track. The top 4 klms of the section is dangerously willow choked, with some portages, after a bad start the river opens up into a 10-12k long gorge with some stunning rainforest and some pretty wicked avoidable log jams. As far as rapids go most of the river is fast moving gr 1-2 but there where a couple of gr 2-3 rapids near the guide river confluence. In paddle about tas the recommended get out is a weir, The weir was shot but the k or so below the weir is horribly willow choked and also had a major log jam, our get out was the ocean.
