Our Pipers Creek paddle two weekends ago attracted 17 members & one trainee!! (Billie) It was a great day & just a shame an obstacle prevented us from paddling the whole distance upstream. Thanks Richard for taking the photos. I had Billie with me on her first club outing & she was rather distracted so I could not take photos & balance her also!!. It was Marion & Julie’s first Sunday paddle with us & we hope they enjoyed it. Pipers Creek is one of the most picturesque & secluded paddles we do & is the epitome of what recreational kayaking is all about. After coming to a halt we retraced our steps & went into Smiths Creek & on down towards the Maria River for a short distance. We met up with the two Bills & Barry on their return from the longer 14 kms option. After getting everyone out & washing kayaks etc we settled down for lunch & a catch up chat.
Thanks David for leading this paddle & to everyone who came along. Hope you enjoyed the paddle & hopefully next time we can get right to the upper end of this lovely creek.
Cheers
