• Along the 1.25km paddle along David Creek, there will be plenty of opportunities to pause and take in the scenery. Dependant upon conditions, this is also a wonderful location to view wildlife.
• 3.25km is all that remains in our loop journey of the east end of Killarney Park. We will arrive back at our vehicles by 1:00pm for our drive home.
