Splitters Creek is a freshwater waterway located near Sharon, approximately 10 minutes north of Bundaberg in Queensland. The creek borders the 160-acre Splitters Farm property for nearly 5 kilometres, providing a continuous stretch of calm, tree-lined water suitable for recreational paddling.
Access to the creek is managed through Splitters Farm at 205 Blairs Rd, Sharon QLD 4670. Paddlers who are not overnight guests of the farm are required to pay an entry fee on arrival ($27 per adult, $17 per child, $5 per infant). Kayak and canoe hire is available daily from 8:00am to 4:30pm, with single-person kayaks, double kayaks, and two- and three-person canoes on offer. Bookings are recommended.
The creek supports a notable diversity of wildlife. Platypus, bass, barramundi, and lungfish have been documented in the water, while water dragons are commonly observed along the wooded banks. Large goannas (monitor lizards) have also been spotted moving along the shoreline. The birdlife is particularly rich, with over 150 documented species recorded across the farm and creek corridor. Observed species include great egrets, little black cormorants, scrub turkeys, black-faced cuckoo-shrikes, dusky moorhens, willy wagtails, and rufous night herons. The riparian vegetation features woody embankments that provide habitat for much of this fauna.
The character of the paddling is relaxed and unhurried, suited to wildlife observation rather than technical paddling. The waterway is freshwater throughout and the surrounding landscape is lush tropical bushland. The creek's calm nature and managed access make it appropriate for paddlers of varying experience levels, including families with children.
Seasonal water temperature patterns, formal hazard warnings, and regulated paddling routes beyond what is offered through the farm's hire operation are not documented.
