At the upper reaches of the sound, it sub divides into two smaller arms. To the north is the short Precipice Cove, and to the south the longer Kutu Parera (Gaer Arm). The northern inlet Precipice Cove is guarded at its southern entrance by Macdonell Island. It offers sheltered anchorage from the prevailing westerly and as such Several small tour companies ( such as Fiordland Expeditions and
Real Journeys) use this as a good overnight location to moor. The
Misty River flows into the cove. The southern
Kutu Parera (Gaer Arm) is a marine reserve and the rules to protect the environment are tougher here than the rest of Bradshaw Sound. The
Camelot River flows into this southern arm. Like the rest of the fiord system, these areas are a haven for wildlife such as bottlenose dolphins, penguins and the rare black coral and both of the arms at Bradshaw's terminus offer great opportunities to explore the water by kayak or the chance to dive in locations such as the shallow dive site
Garden Jules. Access by land is limited and this area is best explored using boats out of
Deep Cove. ==References==
