Shoalhaven Bushwalkers Inc.Hampton Bridge to Tallowa Dam Paddle
21 people in 13 craft joined the canoe trip from Hampton Bridge to Tallowa Dam (on January 31st and February 1st). A reliable local source (???) stated that despite the lack of rain it would be okay to paddle the first section to Bendeela, also stating that there would be only one sandy spot that required portage of the canoes. In fact, there were about twelve! What should have taken one hour, took two. This was the prettiest section of the river with lots of water monitors sunning themselves on the rocks. Five of the group joined us at Bendeela for lunch, before we continued on to our campsite.
