Warm days and cool nights. Long shadows stretching across the river. Golden afternoons that seem to last forever, followed by misty mornings where the world feels quiet and still. Fewer people, fewer bugs, no ants at camp, and water that still holds the warmth of summer. I could keep going, but in short, autumn paddling in Kangaroo Valley is so good. If you’re choosing when to get out on the river, this is the season I always come back to.
