About the Groupings

In prior years, we have had paddling groups which consisted of one guide and around 10 paddlers. This year as in 2018 we are going to let paddlers paddle in groups of at least three and have "Yellow Shirts" (Paddle Guides) stationed at spots where we believe paddlers may get into trouble. There will always be at least one "Yellow Shirt" at the front of all paddlers and NO ONE IS TO PASS THESE PADDLERS. Similarly, there will be at least one "Yellow Shirt" that will act as "Tail End Charlies" and NO ONE IS TO FALL BEHIND THESE PADDLERS.

Each time you enter the water and get off the water at a designated break (morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea), you must get your boat number highlighted by the "Clip Board Marshall". It is critical we know where all paddlers are at all times.

The "WomDomNom" is not a race, but designed to be a relaxing paddle. Safety is of paramount importance. We will paddle 155km of the Macquarie River, and it changes constantly from long straight slow moving water, to fast flowing rapids to tight bends with potentially dangerous willow trees. We cannot stress enough how important it is to paddle in groups of at least three vessels.
