| PADDLE DESCRIPTION: |
Starting from the Tallowa Dam Picnic Area the intention is to paddle up the Shoalhaven river arm of Lake Yarrunga enjoying the spectacular scenery dominated by massive sandstone cliffs of the Lower Shoalhaven Gorge. See satellite image.
Depending on the skill level and experience of participants, the group paddle to the extremity of the backwater and return (~28km), or explore the equally spectacular lower reaches of the lake.
It is intended to stop for morning tea or a snack at some point during the paddle. |

| WHAT TO BRING: |
Suitable canoe or kayak
Suitable paddling clothes including a PFD.
Hat, sunscreen, rash vest, paddling footwear, sunglasses (with retaining strap).
Each participant needs to be self sufficient and carry water/fluids sufficient for a 3-4 hour paddle, morning tea/snacks, basic first aid kit and a spray jacket or other suitable warm top suitable for paddling in should the weather change.
