Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.

About the region

Angle Crossing

Angle Crossing is the southernmost point of the Murrumbidgee River within the ACT. It is accessed by Angle Crossing Road which takes you down into a picturesque valley to the crossing of the Murrumbidgee River. There is usually water over this concrete crossing and it regularly gets closed due to high water levels, so it is a good idea to check road closures with Access Canberra (phone 13 22 81). There are toilets provided, and access to a short river side walk. You can also easily access good swimming spots. In autumn, you may be lucky enough to see the migration of thousands of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters (Lichenostomus chrysops) and White-naped Honeyeaters (Melithreptus lunatus) travelling from the mountains to the warmer coastal areas. No bins are provided - please take your rubbish home with you. No dogs allowed. For dog friendly recreation along the Murrumbidgee River you can go to Uriarra Crossing, Murrays Corner or Point Hut Crossing.

For more information, a location map and facilities please visit the ACT Government Information Portal.
