📍 Location: Loam Island
About this event
🚣🏽♂️ Registration with the leader is essential - please see below for contact details.
🚣 Unfortunately we don’t have any hire craft for this paddle
PADDLE DETAILS
We’ll meet at Loam Island (boat ramp) this Saturday at 0700, put our boats in the water and make our way along the river. Which direction we head will depend on the conditions and where everyone wants to go. Upstream we will reach a rock bar and can't go any further. Downstream we can go towards Vickers Bridge. Either way we get to see the beautiful trees that fringe the river, waterbirds, kites, maybe an eagle. We could even get glimpses of freshwater reptiles. So dust off the cobwebs, put the roof racks back on the car and join me for a fun couple of hours.
WHAT TO BRING
Sunscreen & insect repellent.
Hat.
Long sleeves can prevent sunburn.
Drinking water.
Watercraft & Paddle (Kayak, ski, SUP or the like) that is water worthy.
If you are not a confident swimmer bring and use a life vest.
Waterproofing for any valuables you do not wish to get wet.
Camera (or phone).
A couple of snacks to enjoy at the half way mark before we return.
Waterproof shoes or shoes that can get wet if you don't want to go barefoot.
Sense of humour.
REGISTRATION AND INFO
