Video Post: Paddling Magnificent Shoalhaven Gorge

Shoalhaven River, Morton National Park NSW Australia

For Team Fat Paddler the morning started before 4am, as Benno (TFP Adelaide), Mike and I loaded boats and set off on the 3 hour drive to the Southern Highlands. There we were meeting up with my canoe partner Travis from Paddle and Portage Canoes for a trek to the Shoalhaven Gorge, considered one of Australia’s premier wilderness paddling spots, for a training paddle for the upcoming Hawkesbury Canoe Classic. Of course, it’s hard to call it “training” when you are paddling through such magnificent land, but then that’s much of the appeal of paddling. Cheers – FP
