This winter’s snow has been wonderful. Great for skiers, riders, snow shoers and all winter enthusiasts. And of course all the businesses and workers that have endured two grim winters. But there are lots of great things to do outside the snow country.
Kelly van den Berg describes some of the adventures to be had paddling the rivers of Gippsland. Many of these places are remote and out of the way, and as with backcountry touring, require effort to get the return. But with a bit of exploring and planning there are wonderful rivers to run.
‘Packrafters especially are finding a new sense of freedom in Gippsland’s terrain. Their ultralight inflatable boats allow access to places traditional kayaks can’t easily reach like remote alpine valleys, steep descents, or hike in only headwaters. It’s a style of travel that blends bushwalking, river running, and backcountry problem solving into a single magnificent pursuit.’
