Safe and Sound river trips: Take time to read and note the fol-lowing information.

You are responsible for your own safety, ensure you have adequate skills and experience. This river has continuous sections of white water.

Ensure river heights (and weather conditions) are suitable before embarking.

Always travel with experienced and qualified guides or group leaders.

Ensure all craft and passengers carry the neces-sary and appropriate safety equipment

Craft - repair, first aid & rescue kits, PLB, addi-tional paddles, extra food and clothing. All rafts should have perimeter lines, bow/stern lines, and handholds.

Individual - personal floatation device, spray jacket, helmet, clothing appropriate for weath-er conditions, and basic rescue equipment in-cluding throw rope.

Keep the party in sight of one another at all times.

Inspect rapids (large and/or difficult) from the bank before running, carefully consider running order & safety backup in large rapids.

Be familiar with the skill level of your group - keep weaker paddlers in the middle of the group.

Plan your escape route in case of mishaps. Carry maps, compass and have appropriate walking gear.

Let someone know of your intentions before you go - departure and return dates.

Keep vehicles to formed roads and tracks – carry craft to water, be sensitive to Aboriginal and mining artifacts.

Coordinate with other groups to avoid congestion and social impacts

If camping – see map for river campsites, be sensi-tive to other groups, protect the river banks from erosion, disburse soapy water 50 meters from river, take river toilet and properly dispose after trip.

Parks Victoria encourages volunteer groups such as Friends of the Mitta to become involved in helping look after our environment and heritage.

This support is crucial in the field - where volun-teers often work directly with rangers - undertak-ing projects such as providing information to park visitors, environmental works including pest plant eradication and re-vegetation, erosion control, track and campground and river access point maintenance, historic site identification and interpretive information and more.

Friends of the Mitta’s members are committed to “Give Back” to the river that gives so much to us. This river use information was prepared by FOTM with the assistance of Parks Victoria, commercial operators, and many river enthusi-asts.

If you’d like to “give back” to our lovely river, contact Friends of the Mitta for a list of ongoing projects, equipment and other information at: http://www.friendsofthemitta.org

FRIENDS OF THE MITTAYou too can help care for our Parks

Rafting or kayaking down the Mitta is one of the most enjoyable and exhilarating activities visitors can do in Alpine National Park.

Accidents can happen no matter what, but can be particularly dan-gerous when parties are ill pre-pared or do not have proper safety training or practice.

Ever increasing river runners can also affect sensitive natural envi-ronments. Please be aware and care for our river!
