She Paddles – Barwon River Expedition
A women-only adventure on the beautiful Barwon River
Ready for a day that fills your cup, challenges your body (just the right amount!), and connects you with an amazing group of women? Join us for a stunning 9 km paddle along the Barwon River in Geelong, travelling from Gun Dog Lane to Fyansford Common Boat Launch, with relaxed breaks along the way. (Please bring your own lunch and snacks.)
If you’d like to finish right at your car, we offer a 10:00 am shuttle from Fyansford Common to the starting point.
This trip is led by experienced kayaking instructors who’ll keep you safe, supported, and having a great time from start to finish.
