Pinjarra to Ravenswood

This is a popular flat water paddle. River meanders through marri and red gums with abundant birdlife - narrow to start off with and occasional small sandy beaches. About half way the river widens and you will soon come across houses lining the banks and more river traffic, including houseboats, as Ravenswood is approached.
