Not sure what happened on my original post?????
Looking for a different paddle experience - why not try a Paddlegaine?
This navigational based event allows you up to 3 hours to paddle around some quiet bays and backwaters of Lake Macquarie visiting checkpoints along the way, but wait there's more. Two optional "Transition" checkpoints allow you to dock your vessel and head off on foot into the local urban and bushland areas to collect land based controls. As usual with a Rogaine, it's all up to you as to where you go and by which route you get there.
Start will at 9:00 am on Sunday 3rd November 2019.
More details can be found on the NSW Rogaining website.
