Event notes
The 2019 Australian Packraft Meetup will be held in Camp Cottermouth, which is a short stroll from the magical Murrumbidgee River!

The event, run over three days (Friday 11 October to Sunday 13 October) will host a range of talks, workshops and trips and most importantly serve to unite the Australian and broader packraft community and provide a platform for skill and knowledge sharing in a fun environment.

Camping is available at Camp Cottermouth and can be booked and paid for with registration.
The cost is $10/person/night.
No cabins are available for these dates at Camp Cottermouth.

There are a range of options for river trips from Gr I to Gr III depending on the rainfall conditions leading up to the event. More information on the rivers in the area can be found on the trips page on the meetup site.

Rivers are dangerous environments and with a range of hazards and with the event taking place in October – cold water and hypothermia is high on this list. As such participants should have appropriate gear and competency for the rivers they intend to paddle. Suggestions for appropriate packrafting gear can be found in the links below:
