    Hopefully the humpback highway will be in full swing by mid June and Port Stephens is a great place to see these amazing creatures as they come in close to the coast around Fingal Island on their way north

    This is the second Club trip to Fingal in June.  Over the weekend we will be paddling around 20km each day, with the final plans to make the best of the weather.

    Accommodation will be in a holiday house near the beach and is available from Friday to Sunday night.  There are 2 x double beds, 2 rooms with 2 single beds and some floor space. To make catering easy, we will cook a meal for everybody on Saturday night and provide some basics like bread, milk, margarine, tea and coffee.  Please bring your own breakfast and lunches and food for Friday night, alcohol etc.  The cost will be shared between those attending and will be around $40 for the weekend.

    Note that we may have to park some cars around the corner or in 9 hour parking areas.  There is safe storage for kayaks in the back yard of the holiday house.

    Caoimhin Ardren will be the sea guide planning the routes and Richard Hackett will be organizing accommodation and cooking.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

    AGM Weekend at Windang

    October 11 to 12, 2025

    This year, the Club AGM is at Windang, a small beach side community about 1.5 hours south of Sydney with abundant paddling opportunities. To the south is Bass Point, picturesque Bushranger Bay, and an abundance of sea caves including the well known Kiama blowhole; while to the north is Red Point and the Five Islands. Lake Illawarra provides more protected paddling.

    We will be based at Windang Beach Tourist Resort which is right on Lake Illawarra and an easy paddle out to sea via Tom Thumb Entrance. Book early to reserve your camping site or cabin as this is the final weekend of the October school holidays.

    The AGM will be held at 4:00 pm in the Windang Senior Citizens Centre, a short walk from Windang Beach Tourist Resort. After the meeting, we can socialise over dinner at Club Windang which is also within easy walking distance.

    See you there.
