Note: we are in the one big open-plan Timbarra building this year, not the smaller cottages.
When?
Come down late Friday arvo for the traditional minestrone soup and crusty bread dinner. Have a few drinks and get to know your fellow club members.
Saturday is generally an easy white-water paddle or some instruction for beginners with a qualified instructor, and peer-paddling for the more advanced. Or if you prefer, take your mountain bike for a ride through the forest or just go for a walk through the beautiful forests. Then everyone pitches in to make dinner and make merry with stories of white-water adventures and lost keys – there a plenty of people who love to play games, so join in!
Sunday is generally an Upper Murray paddle with some Grade 1 and 2 white water – suited to beginner paddlers.
More advanced paddlers can still do their own thing – or something different – it’s up to you.
Be back by about 2:30 for a quick clean-up of the accommodation and head back to Perth.
How Much?
Costs are $100 per adult, $40 per school-aged child (i.e. ages 5 to 17 inclusive) and children under 5 free!
This price includes accommodation from Fri night until Sunday arvo and Friday and Saturday dinner and Saturday and Sunday breakfast. Bread and spreads will be provided for you to make sandwiches for Sat and Sun lunch.
Non club members are welcome too! (a $20/$10 surcharge applies).
What to bring?
You will need :
- All your own paddling gear and your white-water boat – members can hire club boats and equipment as required.
- Bed linen and pillow slip and/or a sleeping bag.
- Warm clothes. It gets pretty close to 0 degrees overnight … brrrrr!
- Wet-weather clothes. It gets wet too! But it’s nice and dry inside … mmmm!
- A sense of adventure!
