Botany Bay AGM Day Paddle
Join us for a scenic day paddle exploring the stunning waters of Botany Bay. Starting from the clubhouse at Tempe, we’ll head out into the bay for a rewarding journey showcasing some of the bay’s most iconic spots.
Our exact route will be determined on the day to take advantage of the prevailing weather conditions. If conditions are favourable, we’ll paddle south towards Dolls Point before crossing the bay via Towra Point, a unique wetland area renowned for its natural beauty and birdlife. After a lunch stop at Kurnell, we’ll continue across the bay towards the end of the airport runway, offering a unique perspective of Sydney Airport from the water, before making our way back to the club.
This is expected to be a leisurely but rewarding paddle of a little over 25 km. You will paddle, diverse waters including the open waters of Botany Bay. Our aim is to return to the clubhouse in time for members to attend the AGM.
We look forward to seeing you on the water for a great day of paddling and exploration. Please make sure you register and receive a confirmation email. Register here: https://paddleaustralia.justgo.com/workbench/public/events?ref=F6459015564CA9993554C2D139C3924605BFC0E8
