Canoeing Experience - 1/2 Day Homebush Bay

This is a social paddle from the Epping Scouts Boatshed (150 Bowden Street, Meadowbank) around Homebush Bay to be followed by a saussage sizzle on the deck. We will be launching from a pontoon, then crossing the Parramatta River to do a circuit of Homebush Bay. We will explore the shipwrecks at the top of the bay and be able to get a nice view of Rhodes Waterfront and Ikea.
