Barramundi Creek, also known as Morrissey's Creek or Morris Creek, is located in the Jerona/Bowen region of Queensland, Australia. It is described as a notably large and deep waterway system compared to other creeks in the area, with a well-defined channel offering considerable depth throughout. This depth is considered one of its primary advantages, as it allows access to much of the system across a wider range of tidal conditions than shallower alternatives nearby.

Access is available via the Morris boat ramp, which features a two-lane concrete design with an adjacent pontoon for launching and retrieval. The ramp is approximately 34 kilometres from the Barrattas/Jerona boat ramp, which serves as an alternative access point for the broader area. The Morris ramp provides access to the creek and onward to the ocean.

Navigation requires attention to sandbars, particularly near the mouth of tributary inlets off the main channel. These sandbars can be passable at high tide but become problematic as the tide drops, and getting stranded is a real risk for those unfamiliar with the system. The main river channel itself is generally navigable, but side inlets demand careful timing around tidal cycles.

Water quality in Barramundi Creek is generally described as cleaner than that of neighbouring creek systems in the region. Over 90 percent of the system is reported to be off limits to commercial gill nets, which has implications for the ecological character of the waterway. Despite this restriction, illegal netting has been documented as an issue, with fisheries officers reportedly removing a significant number of illegal gill nets from the system.

The creek supports barramundi populations, and the waterway sees regular recreational boat traffic, particularly around snags and tidal inlets. Paddlers should be aware that motorised boat traffic is common, especially during peak fishing periods when the boat ramp can be busy with multiple trailers. Timing a visit around tidal highs is advisable both for navigating shallower sections and for accessing the full extent of the system.
