Mooney Mooney Creek Cruise Sunday 22nd April 2007 On Sunday 22nd April six steamboats and four petrol launches will be heading up Mooney Mooney Creek. Their owners are planning on a picnic beyond the point where the old Pacific Highway and the F3 cross Mooney Mooney Creek. Motorists will know of the “Big Dipper” but most would not be aware that it crosses Mooney Mooney Creek that starts where the freeway crosses the Hawkesbury River at Brooklyn. It is the highest road bridge in Australia as measured from the road bed to the water 75 metres below. Mooney Mooney Creek is one of the many tributaries of the Hawkesbury River but it is one of the river’s hidden secrets. Very few boats venture up past the township of Mooney to explore or fish upstream. Contact Peter Cowie for further information
