High flow Tours
At Canoe Adventures we are SO EXCITED that the Murray River is in a period of high flows. The last time we saw the river with flows as high as those predicted for this November/December, was in 2011, so get ready for an awesome time of exploring places that are often inaccessible; and creeks that don’t often flow. Feel yourself unwind as you drift over floodplains amongst the redgums.
During this period of high flows we are offering a special series of guided tours, as detailed below. “But is it safe?”, I hear you ask. Our qualified instructor will take you to places where the flow is mild to moderate Please note that we don’t recommend these routes for unguided hires.
We have a number of options, as listed below. Please note however that they are subject to change or cancellation according to weather (e.g. strong wind), flow, vehicular access and attaining minimum participant numbers. Our booking terms and conditions are available here
Times indicated include vehicle transfer back to our starting point. Trips are one way, going with the flow.
Bookings are essential and can be made by phoning Kym on 04211 676 45

Barmera Skate Park project
The skate park in Barmera has limited seating and shade options, garden surrounds and adjoining property fence-lines are unsightly. This area sits in the centre of the recreation hub and is not enticing visitation for our communities families and visitors.
We spoke with Benita Dillon who is part of the Barmera Community Hub committee, an active Community group in Barmera. The Committee have worked on a master plan with this project forming a small part of their long term vision for the area.
This project includes installation of 2 shelters and seating, a water fountain, a section of new boundary fence to the football oval, a garden upgrade around the skate park and a linkage path between the football, netball, basketball and skate park facilities.
Undertaking of the project will assist in finishing the aesthetics of this family friendly precinct.
This project has been budgeted an amount of $75,000 within the draft 2019/2020 budget under the Drought Communities Program funding.

Hey everyone,
Welcome to another vlog and this one was a big one. I travelled up with our Riverland Crew to take over Black Bull which is one of Adelaide’s greatest clubs on the strip of Hindley Street. The boys and I have hosted #7 of these shows at various clubs and Black Bull certainly turned up for this one. So grateful for all the amazing people I meet each time I’m out doing what I love.
