Hi everyone
It’s with safety in mind I will be choosing to CANCEL this event planned for Anzac Day (Saturday 25 April 2026).
My reasons for cancelling a very simple and I’m sure you will all fully back my decision to postpone/cancel event.
With the amount of rainfall we have had in the past 24 hours along with the amounts of rainfall estimated of fall in the next 24 hours still along with district Council talking about opening the flood gate later Tuesday that water will only be entering one water away and that’s the waterway we will be riding on. That means the river will be higher. It’s also means there will be a lot of debris in the water both of the building and visible with the water level being higher. That’s the greater risk to many of us not being able to be the logs that are logic in the bottom of the river that poke upward that we may make compact with whether it’s a high tide or a low tide along with all the dislodgement of debris along the rivers bang along the way up and down through high and low tides as well because of the higher water level.
I know this may upset many of you who have possibly made accommodation plans, I don’t do this lightly and I do apologise but I do put everybody’s safety first and I’m sure many of you know me. I do always make sure that comes first. It Paramount … if you guys are travelling down and still travel down and you still choose to do the river ride on your own I can’t stop you but all I asked is that you let me know that you are going and that you let me know when you are back please, but I do advise against it.
In light of the camp of the I will consider looking at the thing the event on labour weekend again that’s something you guys are interested in doing. If so let me know if that is something you guys would be keen on doing and I will put this together for labour weekend.
Otherwise I apologise but again safety first and I hope that everybody has faith week still quite a bit of rain to fall so be safe 👊
