LOOKING for excitement, adventure, and the best fun you can have sitting
down? Get involved with the Army White Water Association (AWWA).
AWWA is the enabling medium for all forms of paddling pursuits in
the Army; it covers white water kayaking, white water rafting, sea
kayaking, canoe polo, and marathon flat-water kayaking (MFK) activities.
We can assist with the planning and conduct of unit adventurous training
(AT) activities, and develop newly graduated unit adventurous training
leaders (UATL) in paddling disciplines.
Although overseas AT is still yet to be reinstated, we have an exciting
range of domestic adventures on the boil, including sea kayaking down
the east coast of Tasmania, white water rafting down the world-famous
Franklin River in south-west Tasmania (both in early January next
year), and white water rafting and kayaking on the mighty Mitta Mitta
River coming up in October, check the sports noticeboard in this edition
for more information.
