THE ORD

I was fortunate to manage to get down to a paddle session on Thursday - been a long time since I last paddled in Darwin - and it was great to see the excitment of all those who are planning to paddle the Ord - especially the first timers!

This is a really special and unique adventure - 55 kms down the Ord River - read all about the first group from Dragons Abreast to paddle the Ord in our book A Dragons Tale - that was in 2004 and now there are many more members who have all undertaken this fantastic journey.

This year Pru Menzies and Greg Candy from Dragons Abreast Melbourne will be joining in the paddle too. I am sorry I won't be in Darwin to see them all - especially to return the hospitality shown to me by Pru and Greg on my visits to Melbourne - but I know that all the NT girls will make them welcome!

Cheers
