You know where the cliffs are on the bend below the golf coarse, well the river then bends and then continues untill it gets to the Zoo, well, it turns fresh as it runs along the Zoo

You can get to the spot from farm road just follow the werribee river sign and park at the end then there is a walking track that will take you right to the spot and there have been a few redfin being caught on red spinners

Thanks

had a friend using them on the redfin in pres park.
i did check out the bungies 2 nights ago early in the morning lots of birds on the other side. but did see some bubbling that wasint there when i first arived with water movement considering it was flat then ripples after splashing not bird. did flick a vibe around, was intresting.
but it comes down to the fact i read black bream sometimes will travel into fresh water. was reading about it in a wa parks pdf. like i read something about werribee river being not suited for mulloway in a sa uni feild result journal yet a guy landed one there at the cliffs. so i'm going to suss the river out since its the closest waterway for me lol.

but reading an piecing it all togethor

Go past the B24 liberator and the next road to the left is farm road, keep going till the end follow the gravel track to the car park and start walking along the track it is all freshwater then the track comes to an end you are right on the brakish water, yes, there are bream up that far and I have no doubt that mulloway would go up as far as the Zoo, I have a motorised push bike and I just follow the track and try a few holes, would like to come with ya and show ya one day its a part of the river that hasn't been heavily fished

I've had a look at google maps and following your directions I seem to come to a dead end near the bay
Do you travel along farm road in the north or south direction?
Sorry to be annoying.

Turning left at the footy ground go past the green shed B24 Liberator and the next road on the left is farm road then you just follow it till the dead end then follow the gravel track that says Werribee river, you cant miss it
