Kayaking
Brewongle Environmental Education Centre is located in Sackville North, on the beautiful Dyarubbin (Hawkesbury River). One of the activities that you might do on a camp at Brewongle is kayaking. This is a very fun and safe activity, but we know that sometimes it can be a little bit scary.
Here are some videos and photos to help you become comfortable with this great water sport.
