Transparency matters. Some links and buttons on mitchellriver.com.au are commercial relationships. If you click and purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Partners we may use
- Booking.com — accommodation search links tracked via CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), the same network pattern used across Farming Domains guides. Qualifying clicks and bookings attribute to the publisher account that owns those deep links. A dedicated “Mitchell River Guide” CJ website SID should be configured in production (
PUBLIC_CJ_BOOKING_SID/affiliates.ts). - GetYourGuide — tours and experiences (partner ID configured for this site; campaign label
mitchellriverfor multi-site analytics). Featured products may be honest Melbourne / Victoria adjacency — we say so when they are not on the Mitchell River. - Google AdSense (or similar) — display advertising when approved and configured. Ad slots never sit inside safety callouts or official-source panels.
Amazon Associates: this Mitchell River guide does not currently include Amazon product or search affiliate links.
What is never affiliated
We do not take commission on Parks Victoria passes, Victorian fishing licences, boat registrations, government fees, or other official payments. When we point you to Parks Victoria, VFA, BoM, East Gippsland CMA, Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation or Safe Transport Victoria, that link is for safety and compliance — not for revenue.
Editorial independence
Affiliate relationships do not dictate our safety wording, cultural protocol language, which official sources we recommend, or how we describe river levels and paddling risk. We aim to recommend useful options; always compare prices and read operator terms yourself.
How to spot partner links
Partner panels are labelled (for example “Partner offer” or “Partner · GetYourGuide”). Booking and GetYourGuide outbound links typically use rel="sponsored" where appropriate. Official agency links are ordinary informational links.
