Whitewater Easter Trip

[Note that this is an OLD 2005 posting – ed.]

I have decided to run the trip to Goolang Ck in the week following the
Easter Weekend (Uni Hols). The plan is to spend the first two days on
Goolang improving your skills, learning to paddle rapids etc… Then we
will look at the water levels and decide whether it is worth heading
over to the Nymboida for the last day or two, or just heading home.

**IMPORTANT**
Those who can’t make the Friday can join us on Saturday, let me know if
you are still keen!
