Social Club Adventure Talk

May 21 @ 7:00 pm

Adventure Kayaker Talk at Swan Canoe Club
Friday May 21st 7pm
Guest Speaker Andrew Linton

Presentation:
Dampier Archipelago trip and a paddle trip in Port Davey in south-west Tasmania

Andrew, a past member of our Club, has led an extremely adventurous outdoor life and will speak of
two of his sea kayaking trips: one around the islands north of Karratha; and the other in south-west
Tasmania. However, I am sure he could be persuaded to chat about crossing Bass Straight, or
paddling solo to Geraldton, or even in a double from Cape York to Saibai Island off New Guinea
mainland….

So come along and be inspired…..
