Paddling through the wildlife sanctuary and around to Tranby House is just a little taste of what will unfold along today's section on the Swan.
During our time on the water, we detour off the main flow of the Swan, discovering birdlife flourishing in wetlands and a wildlife sanctuary known as Kuljak Island, which is located in the middle of the river - the Island was once used as a rubbish dump but has been rehabilitated into a wildlife sanctuary. Another highlight of today's paddle is a stop off at the Historical Landmark, Tranby House where your Adventurous Women Host will be serving up a yummy picnic lunch. The paddle will then continue until the point where the river begins to widen ... Another fabulous day of kayaking and exploring!
The distance of the Paddle is 7km and should be achievable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. No prior kayaking experience is required.

You may choose to just take part in this ONE section only, OR you may choose to continue the following month and complete the next section on the river, starting off where we finish (as we're doing a different section each month until we reach Coode Street in South Perth). You may even keep going each month to complete all five sections, the choice is yours .. there's no pressure (just good times) and there are a good range of paddling experiences to be enjoyed, either as a one off .... or more than one if you wish.
If you really want to complete the whole sectional paddle over the 5 months, but some of the dates don't suit or you're not able to commit right now, then let us know by emailing sue@adventurouswomen.com.au. We will then place your name on a list to be notified when we next run that section so you'll have first dibs prior to it's release to the general public.

wow those stunning views of the scenic rim & even brisbane cbd in the distance were definitely worth the rocky steep ascent
Another great AW trip, fun group with lots of laughs.
l had an amazing experience for my first multi/ day hike, with incredible guides Sue O and Jazzy.
I absolutely loved the walk . I had no expectations as it was my first walk with AW but it was so good in every way. The accommodation was great , the food was excellent ,the guides were wonderful and so caring .
I can't think of any way it could be improved , except maybe having another place to stay in between the swan valley and New Norcia ,as it was a long drive back the last couple of days .
A wonderful and unique experience. Lots of physical activity surrounded by a peaceful and colourful environment. The camp meals were amazing and very healthy. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and getting to meet more amazing Adventurous Women!
This trip was amazing, full of adventures
Absolutely fantastic adventure. Well worth doing.
A great walk on a beautiful day with some really lovely ladies. Being in the middle of Sydney, this walk was easy to access and provided some stunning riverside scenery. Deb was a great guide who pointed out some interesting historical points along the way.
Very enjoyable and relaxed walk. Deb was a very attentive but relaxed leader.
