SNOWY RIVER RUNS FREE - Trip report from Maclaughlin to Halfway Flat

From 12 – 14 October 2011 Kevein Songberg and Tim Sindel from the Rivers Canoe Club of NSW joined experienced whitewater rafters Bruce Baxter, Jack Hodge and a photo journalist to paddle the Snowy River from Maclaughlin R junction to Halfway Flat at The Barry Way. This trip was at the high release level 11000 Ml/day.

Snowy River continued - 11,000 ML/day.

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.
