WE drove from south to north on the 27th November. The tide was low early morning so we camping in the river valley the night before after driving up from Tantan along the coast. A lot of military there that day. We drove down the sandy slope from Fort Aoreora.
The river valley is sandy but the softest sand is nearer to the sea. There is now a lagoon at the end of the river that wasn't there in 2019. You have to be a little bit careful getting around the north side of this, there are dunes to cross and soft deep sand.
At the north end exiting the beach was easy just stay on the north side of the river. No mud there but there is soft mud on the south side near the fishermans huts.
As I posted before I have never exited up the sandy slope by Fort Aoreora as it is much easier to get out of the river further inland along the river.
