Adventure

Here I share a few adventure plans that are a little different. Maybe there’s some inspiration or logistical support in these. What I’ve added so far from the archives comes from an era before ubiquitous location services…

Multisport

Snowboard Mount Hotham and Surf Cape Conran

Paddling

Snowy River

Raft the wild and remote Snowy River from McKillops Bridge down to the Buchan confluence over 4 days, then shuffle cars back from the start. I compiled a placemark archive including, start and end points, the campsites we chose, and nearby locations.

Glenelg River

Paddle the serene Glenelg River to the mouth and walk back to nearly the start point along the beach. Drop some gear and shuffle some cars. See the plan mapped out.

Snowboarding

Japan
