Broke Inlet Trip

Jan 23 – Jan 26 all-day

AUSTRALIA DAY LONG W’END – BROKE INLET TRIP
SATURDAY 23/1/21 – TUESDAY 26/1/21

Broke Inlet is a large and scenic estuary near Walpole within the
D’Entrecasteau National Park on the south coast, about 400km
from Perth.

Using sea kayaks we will be self-sufficient and plan
to camp in seclusion for 3 nights on the far side of the inlet. Day
paddle options will include exploring the inlet’s islands and
tributary rivers, or heading down to the ocean outlet for a swim.

You will need a reasonable level of fitness for this fun trip, and
should have completed an Introduction to Sea Kayak course
with the club, or have equivalent skills.

Interested?
