Details

On this paddle, led by Cathy Miller, you will experience it all. The tree-clad banks, impressive sandstone rock formations, the amazing serenity as the river twists and turns + women who want to paddle, laugh and have a great time!

We will explore the river from the weir at Fuller s Bridge all the way down to the Harbour. We have special permission to go ashore at St. Ignatius Riverview College to walk through their beautiful rose garden and admire their fully restored 1880 s main building. Quite breathtaking.
