  What to wear

  For cool weather, it is important to maintain upper body warmth. Proper fitting wet suits are good although can be restrictive after long periods.Polypropylene thermal wear is very good. Avoid cotton as its thermal qualities are minimal and it stays wet and cold all day, even bare legs dry out quicker. Save your old smelly runners they are ideal for water activities.Bare feet or unsecured footwear is unsuitable.Dwellingup Adventures hire Thermal wear packages if you need.

  River Levels

  The Murray River is reliant on natural rainfall patterns. Dwellingup Adventures will advise you if the water levels are unsuitable.

  Safety

  The section from Yarragil to Dwaarlindjirraap is generally suitable for beginner paddlers. Parents will determine the suitability of their own children, but it is common for an adult and a young child to do the tour. We supply a double paddle for the adult. Two roads run parallel to the river, River Road on river right (looking downstream) and Murray Valley Road, river left (looking downstream). River Road will lead you back to your vehicle should you need to walk out.

  If you are not at Dwaarlindjirraap at the designated pick-up time Dwellingup Adventures staff will travel along River Road to check your location.

  Dwellingup Adventures staff will give you a basic safety brief in case you fall out. Your driver will show rafters features and give a river brief as you are transported upstream to the raft start.

• Note: Lane Poole Reserve entry fees are not included in the tour cost.
