Avon Descent 2004 Water level at Walyunga around 0.5m on the new gauge. Another fine day. Click on photos for a larger version: hit 'back' button to return. (Photos: 1-4 R. Khorshid; 5 C. Thorpe; 6-8 P. Hill) |
 Rapid at Stronghill's Farm: only a small drop but a difficult passage in low/medium water. Most paddlers make a detour through ti-tree thicket to the river right above the rapid, thus bypassing the rocks. |
 Entering gap in ti-tree thicket just above rapid to get to river right. |
 Stronghill's Farm team changover point - it's about half way down the valley. |
 Downstream from Stronghill's Farm; the valley is at its most scenic. |
 Aren't they polite? Paddlers queue to take it in turns to run the main drop at Bell's Rapid which is out of the pic, just below the front paddler. |
 The last of the rapids of the valley: lower Bell's (also a team changover point). |
 Calm waters about half way through the Swan Valley: team changover at Sandalford Winery. |
 Finishline at Riverside Gardens, a few hundred metres upstream from the old finish line. |
