I’m offline until Sep 17 while enjoying remote South Australia. Back soon!

I cherish the unique connection I feel with nature through our local rivers. The happy smiles of customers after a paddle and the personal peace I experience when on multi-day journeys are truly rewarding. Sharing river adventures with like-minded people adds to the joy and I’ve learned so much from so many people!

Take a look 🥳

Platycam is back online!

The world's only livestream of platypus in the wild is a streaming broadcast of the Grange Burn in Hamilton in SW Victoria where most days, platypus can seen in their natural environment.*

Platycam has just had a battery upgrade, so we are hoping the stream continues to be as strong as our love of the platypus is! **

If you don't spot a platypus, you might see some of the resident ducks, rakali, swans, moor hens and even a big white goose affectionally named, Gordo, who seems to love paddling in front of the camera for some screen time.

* platypus spotting is not guaranteed and they appear at all hours of the day and night , but you can often see them at dawn, just after dusk, and randomly between 12-1am!

** Platycam is powered by solar panels and successive days of cloud may mean the stream is disconnected. It requires a manual reconnection online so we'll endeavour to get it back up asap.

The Bocara River (Glenelg) full to the brim of nature at its best.

So grateful to be part of the river journeys each year, what a spectacular and special place to immerse in.

Our program participants inspire me endlessly and I am so grateful for the team too.

Huge thanks to Ali at Paestan Canoe Hire and Adam Asset Connecting Communities with Shelley at Geelong Adventure Specialists and Ben with Pete from Adventure Works Australia Ltd..

This is special 🛶🏕️🔥🤠🌟

Be like Russell 🤠

Back in 2020, nine-year-old Grace Tenuta was out looking for lizards near Geelong when she got bitten on the foot by a tiger snake. Now most kids would freak out but instead of fully losing it, she remembered the snake-bite advice she’d learned from Russell Coight — stay calm, immobilise the limb, and call Triple Zero.

Even while waiting for the ambulance, her mum said Grace kept repeating, “Russell Coight said just stay calm.”

She assured her mum "Don't worry mum, i know what to do from Russell Coight"
