Had a lovely paddle down the Kangaroo River from hampden bridge to Bendeela with the fam yesterday. Who said those $20 packrafts aren't as good as Alpackas?????

Great to see the kids out and about in the outdoors Lizzy. One of those $20 pack rafts looks a bit worse for wear though :lol:
Can't wait until I can go for a wander or two with my brand new grandson....might be a while though he's only just 5 weeks old at the moment.

Looks like great fun Lizzy. And good to see you got the quick exit upgrade on one of those rafts ;-)

Looking forward to doing some thing similar with my son when he gets a little older...great family memories.
Thanks for sharing Lizzy.

Thanks guys! It's great to get the young fellas out and about in the bush. It was great for teamwork too- nothing beats putting 2 people in a boat with 2 paddles for that!!! Lots of yelling at each other but when they worked at it they did a great job. Some fun little rapids and gravel races to have a play in :)
