Mitchell River inter uni kayaking and rafting

Requirements: Must be able to swim!

The annual inter-uni paddling trip, with groups joining us from Monash and Latrobe Universities. For those not interested in kayaking or rafting, there may be a group hiking along the Mitchell River Walking Track.

Drive down Friday night or super early Saturday morning and camp at
a campground (with hot showers!) mid way along the section that we paddle.

Saturday paddle from Angusvale to the Den of Nargun and leave boats up on the flood terraces. From there it is a 15 minute walk back to the campground - warm up, cook dinner, enjoy a few beverages around a bonfire and enjoy the party. 

Sunday retrace our steps back to the river and paddle down to the take out at the Final Fling (III) rapid.

Those wishing to kayak must have kayaked with the club and be at a suitable standard. Talk to Mitchell if you are interested.

Gear hire costs per person:
kayaks $15
Rafts approx $30, dependent upon numbers as we have to hire them commercially. If you are interested in rafting I need to know numbers before the end of September so that I can book the required number of rafts. Email me please to reserve a spot. 
Camping Fees: $16 per person cash. Please bring exact change as the owners want me collect all of our fees and pay them at the one time on Saturday afternoon.
