Walker Flat Ferry Crossing
River Mouth·South Australia·Australia·
Field notes
Cable-ferry crossing on the SA Murray with cliff-lined deep holes either side. Bank access from the western reserve and ramp; deeper water under the cliffs is favoured for callop on shrimp and yabbies, with cod on bardi grubs and swimbaits at dusk.
