Two weeks ago I was fortunate to be able to make it down to the Snowy Release to paddle a section of the Snowy from Maclaughlin Junction to the Barry Way at the peak of the release. This is the the first cut of my video.

Many paddlers from around Australia have taken advantage of the river flow, and all at different levels. One group paddled at the full release downstream if the McLauchlan River confluence. They said that it was an incredible ride! Here are a couple of pictures at 4,000 ML/day. Full stories to follow.
