CRUISING DESTINATIONS.ISLAND HEAD CREEK
Uninhabited Island Head Creek is home to huge Mud Crabs top fishing and is one of the safest anchorages on the Queensland Coast. Unfortunately, it is not always available to the Cruising and Voyaging public as it falls within the Shoal Bay army training area and gets closed to the public from time to time for military training purposes with live firing frequently carried out.

I haven't been in Island Head Creek since 1998. Will be returning there soon. Interested to know present navigation at the entrance. There were two channels (Lucas's Cruising Coral Coast) in, but the portside one was deeper and was favoured for keelers. Is this still the case? Fair winds. Don.
