the Tamar?

I am not a member of the Western Australia Nautical Cruising Association, but my guess is that is the entrance to Millbrook Creek.

I think I recognise that now..... took me a while...

I think those are the moorings run by Huggins just up past the narrows with Mt Edgcombe park on the left.... and Millbrook creek ahead.....

Taken from about 1/2 mile South of Cargreen, looking North?

Oops, no. The perspective is a bit odd as those moorings look a lot further from the LH shore than they really are. Now I notice the little cottage on the left and I think I can make out my mast in the background at Millbrook.

Depending on the height of low water there is just enough space to anchor between the moorings and the mud banks, very sheltered even when other anchorages such as Barn Pool become untenable. Bilge keelers could anchor closer to the shore. Landing by tender either on the concrete steps over a pipeline or the beach below Mashfords if not too rough. Rather like Barn Pool the boat will tend to lie facing the same way during both flood and ebb.

Bizzarely it took me overnite to recognize the place..... we had a swinging mooring there for 3 years!!

Only downside was it was a bit uncomfortable in a northerly.....
