(1) Yes, there are ten (10) sets of navigation marks between the entrance from the estuary upstream to Nairn Road ramp. This is the most popular area of river use.
There is another set of navigation marks upstream of the Barragup Bridge in an area of the river known as 'The Ford'. This area shallows and the marks indicate the navigable channel.
Between these sets of marks the river is less than 2 metres in depth and the speed limit for vessels throughout the river is 5 knots.
