The plan is to leave Melbourne Friday evening, and drive up to the campsite at Echo Bend

On Saturday morning we will drive up to Angusvale, and paddle down to near camp, before running continuing downriver Sunday.

If you want to go on this trip you will have to have attended one of the Intro to kayaking sessions or have equivalent knowledge (how to perform a wet exit at minimum), be able to swim at least 50m in strong currents, and have previous whitewater experience. We plan to take a mix of rafts and kayaks, with more experienced paddlers being in the kayaks, and less experienced in the rafts.

More details will be added closer to the date.

If you have any queries then please get in touch.
Cheers
Michael

It is your responsibility to ensure you have the right gear. Trip leaders can answer questions you might have. If you dont have the right gear you may get left at uni and leaders might be unwilling to take you in the future.
