Adventurous Activities – Including the Water activity centre etc.

Our Water Activities Centre - the ‘Harold Gardiner Water Activities Centre’ (or HaGWAC for short) - is located at the District Campsite,

Cresco Park, on the Yarra River at Warrandyte.

It offers drive-through convenience and is stocked with ten Canadian canoes, four kayaks, two canoe trailers and thirty sets of life jackets and helmets. 

 

Sections may borrow the District’s water activities equipment (as can any other groups subject to a hire fee) - but only if the appropriate Charge Certificates are held.
