36th Hawkesbury Canoe Classic

This takes place on the weekend of 27th and 28th Oct this year and entries have closed by now. Their website is

Hawkesbury Canoe Classic 2012

There are navigation restrictions for the Hawkesbury and details of that can be found here:

Hawkesbury restrictions for the Canoe Classic.

I understand that the major charity beneficiary this year will be the Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation as it was last year.

The paddling goes throughout the night and is a silent event in comparison with the upcoming 2012 Bridge to Bridge Water Ski Classic which will be held on the weekend of 1st and 2nd December. In case you are a legend, entries for the Ski event close on 19th October.

Reminder about Fire Season

Please ensure that your sites are tidy and free of rubbish and your gutters are also cleaned out in preparation for the fire season. Remember that you must not obstruct the walkways between the vans, so don't store your things there.

I also would like to remind everyone that their smoke alarms should be tested this month.

Park Approvals

Ben Loiacono from the Hills Shire Council will be down sometime this month to inspect the Park. He not only inspects the Park's facilities but also needs to ensure site holders do not have unapproved alterations and are  conforming to the rules concerning storage or obstruction of walkways.
