On the mudflats of Saltwater Creek at low tide

Betty led us on a 13km tour around Mogo State Forest near Saltwater Road and Saltwater Creek in fine sunny autumn weather.  As is usual with Betty’s walks, it was a good leg stretch with some sizeable hills.  We just managed to get the walk in before the area is to be logged.  Forestry was already harvesting across a couple of the gullies.  Saltwater Creek is quite a big body of water which flows into a deep arm of the Clyde River and is tidal, exposing wide mudflats at low tide crawling with little crabs and dotted with mangroves.
