This trip is still fresh in my mind, and it feels like the right time to reflect on three unforgettable days of hiking and canoeing through the Shoalhaven Gorge. What followed was a test of grit, stubbornness and endurance, but also a journey filled with beauty, camaraderie and gratitude. Looking back, I see it not just as three days of canoeing and hiking, but as an adventure that reminded me why I love this river, and why these challenges are worth every step.
