Landcare Source to Sea Challenge

So i went for this 15km paddle with a group of people mostly unknown to me. I have been attending this kayaking training session with Jarad Kohler, arguably Australia’s top adventure racing athlete. He emailed us and notified us of this challenge. i thought i might go down to get some mileage in. In conjunction with Landcare Week, they are going to paddle from the source of Yarra River to the sea! i joined them for the last 15km leg to the sea.

their official site is here.

that’s me on the far left. the guy 2nd from right is Australia olympic K1 slalom athlete Warwick Draper. He got 5th in the final in the end i think. 

 thats us at the end, all happy, partly because its all finished, partly because we can smell the BBQ.
