We will use Scouts' double kayaks and paddles. Each member will be wearing a PFD (personal flotation device).
At least 1 leader will carry a phone in a dry bag accessible from the water. Mobile reception is expected in the area.
There will be a safety chat and dry demo before going on the water.
 
The activity will start and finish at the southern end of Davidson Park, Killarney Heights, at the canoe launch area near the boat ramp. Please note if you are parking within Davidson Park, parking fees are payable to National Parks via ticket machine.

Participants must wear clothes appropriate to the temperature and be ready to get wet, including enclosed footwear. Hat and sunscreen.
We may jump off the kayaks to swim if conditions are good.
