Wetlands Wander 2025 Course:
This year, the course has been relocated closer to the VMR Pontoon, allowing for an open water entry/exit area and washdown point. Also allows for a bigger warmup and cooldown, away from start and finish lines.
5 km – Loops, all going in a clockwise direction. Right hand turns at both turn-1 (at the Nudgee Creek canoe ramp) and turn-2 (closest to the mangroves at the 6-knot red channel marker). This will alleviate some wind hazards from the SE and ESE, up to 15-knots and keep paddle craft away from power boats exiting and entering Marina.
Warmup area, between Yundah St, boat ramp and Baxter’s Jetty. Enter water via Yundah St boat ramp.
Start line will be between the blue yacht and the red channel marker.

There will be white drums in the creek, that will be placed on corners. Keep left of these drums.
Turn 1 will be marked by 2 x orange buoys at the Nudgee Creek canoe entry/exit ramp, turn right around both turn buoys.
Returning along Nundah Creek, keep left of the white drums.
Turning right from Nundah Creek back into Cabbage Tree Creek, keeping the red channel marker to your right, staying in the main channel, keeping Shorncliffe Marina on your left and the moored yachts closest to the mangroves on your right.
Turn 2, for the 10 and 15 km race will be a right-hand turn, marked by 3 orange buoys. Boats will come into the turn from the main marina channel, exiting turn, traversing between the mooring poles and moored yachts on your right and mangroves on your left, staying out of the main channel.
