Mackay QLD - April26 & Today 05Sep26
Lower Tide today, and sandflats extended, but hardly any major sandbar movement in 5 months.
Last Lowrance map produced for Mackay Low Tide was April 2026

For my regulars who fish the Gulf , Norman River (Karumba) to Staaten Rivers. The images are not low enough for a new Sounder map, but a few images for all boat users to keep a copy of, if it makes any sense out on the water.
Some tricky looking sandbars at the Rivers & creeks up the Eastern side of the Gulf. Those who fish the areas will know the Rivers.
That usual sandbar out in front of the Norman River is 5km out.

Have you heard of the 725 km Tinny Rally
( https://www.facebook.com/TinnyRally ) on the Murray River between Mildura Vic & Mannum SA ?? Well now there is a map for the Lowrance users that covers that River Murray section plus another 70 kms upstream (or South) of Mildura & downstream to Lake Alexandrina.
The map also covers 50kms of the Darling River upstream of Wentworth Vic.

Shoal Bay Darwin NT. The Howard River differences in 4 months.
The ever moving sandbars of Darwin.
There is too much cloud outside of the images & the Tide isn't quite low enough to create another Darwin map, but the Howard River has straightened out its kink since the wet season. ( So beware if using the April26 Darwin Low Tide Map)

I recently created a map for Hinchinbrook Region Qld last week & was queried on the Herbert River Mouth "Breakaway". I'd never heard of it, but are always on alert for the misgivings of maps. Well I found a map that had the fairly recent imagery of the "breakaway" and boy my heart goes out to those living the dream in an idyllic spot until nature reclaims you during the recent 2025 flooding events in Qld.
I was hoping to do an update to the map, but cannot get the newer imagery I found to give me the all important gps embedded layout. So we will have to wait for now. ( Hoping to add a high zoom level with the latest data at some stage)

King Ash Bay So close but yet so far. Probably not till October/ November's low tides satellite pass at 10.30AM in the morning will there be a decent low tide map update for everyone ( cloud pending) . That extra 300mm can mean an extra 3km of sandbar exposed where you need it.
It would be great if it was at the start of every season & not the end.

Part2 -Hedland Pilbara WA - Lets look at the image resolution of the TopEndMaps products.
The General Satellite imagery is made to be better zoom than anything else you get for your Chart Plotters.
The Low Tide Maps are limited by resolution & clear zoomability. I wish they were better quality for those tight creeks but that's how this satellite rolls. (until 2033). And I'm always seeking other options. Still better than the current options out there. (nothing)
But the Low Tide maps tell a story that is available no where else in the World except from TopEndMaps.
The images below are zooms down toward the Balla Balla boat ramp near Depuch Island that Pilbara boaters may be familiar with.

Part 1. Hedland Pilbara WA , What are Top End Maps about? They are another tool in your maps collection on your Lowrance chart plotter to give you a rough idea of where the channels are. Best shown with images. I'm not dissing or anything, just comparing a snapshot of My Low Tide map, My general satellite map, Navionics & C-Map images on my Lowrance hds7 live.
Depuch Island WA. - More posts to come on Hedland region.
