Yesterday we went canoeing. It was a beautiful, bright sunny day with great scenery. We learnt how to steer, control and capsize a canoe. The Yeerung (where we canoed) was pretty and calm. At the end of the Yeerung River the water was a deep red that was said to be from then tea trees. We went canoeing right down to the mouth of the river were we had lunch and played a game of beach soccer. We then got back to the canoes and with the birds singing in the trees we raced back to where we started. Later on we had the best part of the day, where we had to capsize. Capsizing is when we flip the canoe over and fall into freezing cold water. It was funny to see everybody go in because they would all scream at the top of their lungs as the icy water engulfs them. The water was so cold it took your breath away. It was great.

Latter on we returned to camp and packed all our gear.

This was one of the best activities we have done during our time at Snowy and we look forward to going canoeing again.
