Australia’s classic river journey
Day 1
The first day of all our river Journeys is about you! You the river and confidence. You are introduced to rafting on 10kms of gentle yet challenging whitewater. As we are passionate about our profession we love to offer our clients that little bit extra and after over 30 years paddling the Mitta we will have you relaxed and enjoying this amazing wilderness environment in no time. You will also have the opportunity to attempt guiding and if you would like to step the adrenaline you can paddle an inflatable kayak.
Hundreds of people have said the same thing” I am so glad I did the two day trip because I was totally relaxed in a new environment, I felt armed and ready and I had total trust in my guide” so I got so much more out of the big rapids on day two than I would of if I was nervous.”
An Evening to chill out or party on!
The Blue Duck Inn is a traditional country pub, filled with memories of yester year, an open fire and a veranda overlooking the Cobungra river. The relaxed atmosphere, wholesome local food and wine and great Aussie humour are always recipes for nights to remember.
Day 2
Australia’s classic river journey
The Mitta Mitta boasts one of the highest ‘put-ins’ in Australia at 680m in elevation. This river packs a serious punch. The continuous grade 2-3 rapids make for a wild descent off the Great Divide. Plummeting between intricate rock formations for 18km will certainly ensure your adrenalin hits overdrive. You’ll tackle grade 2 and 3 rapids such as Graveyard, the ‘S’ bend, Bump and Grind, Big Stopper, Dislocation, The waterfall, Gobbler and Three plus. These technical rapids require many manoeuvres and are guaranteed to test the skills of the most experienced rafters.
History and Culture
During this trip, Australian history comes to the fore, as you will have the rare opportunity to explore 19th century miners’ diggings. Afterwards, you can relax and enjoy the grandeur of the steep bare rock gorges which characterise this wilderness area.
