Upcoming events

Come and join a merry bunch of adventurers as they explore the NW corner of Arthurs Lake, Central Highlands, by kayak and on foot. Other types of human powered water craft are also welcome. Speak to the organisers, Simon Allen and Karen Wild-Allen, if unsure, but coracles and patrol boats/whalers are acceptable. 

Camping on Saturday night (24 Feburary) at the Jonah Bay campground is included in the entry fee to allow a relaxed evening and an easy collection of maps at 8am on Sunday for a 10am start and a 2pm finish.

Controls will be placed around Arthurs Lake and out on the islands with plenty of route choice. Will it be quicker to move by foot or boat. Where will you make your numerous landfalls?

The terrain varies from open scrub to rocky dry eucalyptus forest. The waters vary from open water, to dead tree graveyards, and there may be some swamp thrown in for good measure. 

No doubt the hardliners will be out for points, points and more points.  This event also lends itself to a gentle 'Swallows and Amazons' style explore, with picnics on the beaches, wicker baskets, cucumber sandwiches, along the lines of the Famous Five, or Secret Seven.

The aquatic rogaine, or aquagaine, will be a fun and social event equally suited to old hands and first timers. Team sizes will be two to five, with six allowed in a patrol boat/whaler.

If you are interested but short of a water craft ask around (put a note in the Rogaining Tasmania Facebook group). There may be some that can be lent out.
