About us

The River Canoe Club of New South Wales was founded in 1935 and is one of the oldest kayaking and canoe clubs in Australia.

Based in Sydney, close to Botany Bay on the Cooks River, we’re the premier recreational Club in New South Wales catering for beginners, families and skilled kayakers. We organise events in the disciplines of open, flat, moving and white water kayaking and canoeing.
