Livia is on a distinguished road
In Jan 2009 we took a month trip and tried to go to Princess Louisa. We encountered slush prior to the rapids and then the inlet was completely iced over PRIOR to McDonald Island. We ended up at the Young Life Camp docks overnight because we couldn't get to the anchorages and were on the wrong side of the rapids with dark coming.

It *was* particularly cold that year and many other years people have made it in January.
