Silver Duke’s Hawkesbury Classic

Congratulations to the silver Duke of Edinburgh’s award group who completed a challenging three-day canoeing expedition on the Hawkesbury River last week.

Starting at Crosslands Reserve near Hornsby, the group paddled and camped along the banks of the river, finishing at Mooney Mooney Bridge on Friday.

Glorious weather contributed to a very pleasant journey along the majestic Hawkesbury, although an incoming tide and 35km per hour winds on Friday resulted in some aching shoulders by the end of a tough day.

Well done to all the students who challenged themselves through participating in this program!
