Peter and Jamie headed down this 19.8km reach of lower Ovens River from Peechelba to Lavis'. This stage is within the declared Heritage River section of the Ovens River and is also part of the Warby Ovens National Park.
What can we say about this stage:
- Access is very easy at the upstream entry point at Peechelba, off the end of Frost Road. The Crown land block at Lavis' is more difficult to locate and local knowledge should be sought for access.
- This was a very solid 6hr paddle with almost constant snag negotiation and
