Brunswick River two-parts
This is a fairly informal two part paddle with an easy social first part followed by a 'make it up as we go along' more challenging second part. You are welcome to attend for just one or both of these paddles.
A good friend of mine from Sydney with a mobile kayak hire business is running a paddle up Marshalls Creek. It is only about 8km return and will be at a fairly slow pace. This paddle then stops at a nice cafe in New Brighton before returning to the start point.
After that I plan to explore the area a bit more and do a longer and/or more adventurous paddle, though we will decide based on the conditions on the day what we will do.

Terranora Creek and up Bilambil Creek
This is a fairly interesting and varied paddle that goes through a variety of landscapes.
It's going to be fairly long, probably about 30 kms, though we will have some assistance with the tides. Also the forecast at this stage is for not much wind, so sails probably won't help.
I'm thinking we can paddle all the way up Bilambil Creek to Bilambil Village and stop for lunch in a little park by the river. Getting onto shore will be a little tricky as there are rocks near to the only place where it is possible to get out. This photo was taken at low tide to show where the rocks, but we should be there at high tide.
For those following along on Facebook, this is pretty much the same …

Paradise Point to Wavebreak Island
Paddling from Paradise Point boat harbour to Wavebreak Island.
The start time is designed to catch the last of the outgoing tide, then come back with the incoming tide.
There are lots of bail out points along the way if need be.
Arrive at 11:30am for a midday launch.
The total distance is about 19km's, and since I'm trying out my new longer kayak the pace is likely to be quite fast.
Ideally suited to kayaks over 5 metres in length.
