turon river

Has any one been at Sofala when its @ 2.12 M, is it still ok for Slucing? Info is from NSW rivers Info http://waterinfo.nsw.gov.au/drr/macquarie.shtml Most times I have been there when its 0.5m or less.

Has anyone got advice for me about Turon Gates ? Considering a swing past on my way home from Orange for a little panning session on Sunday . What are the roads like ? Should I take the ute , or can my wife ride in the luxury in the XR6 ? What is access to the river / gold like ? Any fees...
