Ravenswood Weekend – March 2006 – Trip Report and Photos

1398
Ten Swan Canoeists attended a great weekend based at Ravenswood.  Camping was at the caravan park strategically located near the Ravenswood Hotel. 

Ravenswood is only an hour and half drive from Perth so most managed to make it down there in time for an evening meal on the Friday night.  Saturday's paddle was on the Murray River from Pinjarra back to Ravenswood, a beautiful river paddle.  All flat water, the river moving very slowly and great scenery along the way.  A pub meal was on the agenda on Saturday night, followed by some overly energetic dancing from some.


On Sunday a car shuffle was done to Mandurah, with the paddle commencing at Ravenswood.  The first part of the paddle was along the Murray River to the estuary, then an estuary crossing and on into Manudarah for a well earned coffee/tea.  A great paddle along river, estuary and canals and a mix of natural waterways and riverside homes.

 
Thanks to Richard Jolly for organising a great trip and also thanks to Ian Garthwaite for completing the instructor duties for the weekends paddling.
