This is one of my favourite paddles. We’ll launch at Spirit Bay and follow the shoreline around to the beach at Smyth Head. After lunch there, I will assess the weather conditions and the energy of the group to decide whether to cross to Aylard Farm beach and possibly along to the petroglyph, and then back along that shoreline in behind Wolf Island and back to the Marina.If it doesn’t look like a good idea, we can backtrack and cross over to Fraser Island and explore there, or retrace our morning route.

Safety reminders
Always dress for the possibility of immersion and please bring a drybag containing a spare change of clothes. The drybag goes in your kayak with you, not in your car at the launch site. Please bring a lunch or snacks and sufficient beverage to keep you hydrated, as well as a thermos of something warm. Your paddle leader will introduce the plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements. Please stay off the water until the group is ready. If you have a VHF radio please bring it with you.
