Paddle the Snowy from McKillops Bridge to Jacksons Creek. We hope to take out a day early and skip the last day of flat water paddling. Jackson creek is 4WD access only and the plan is dependent on having at least 2 4wds. 

We will be taking rafts, IK2's and kayaks. Pack rafters are welcome.

67km, 3 days and 3 nights of paddling and camping along the Snowy river.

You will need to have overnight camping experience - it is all remote bush camping on the riverbank. At least one white water trip to crew the raft. Be a comptentent/independent grade 3 paddler to be in a kayak.

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.
