Pam Dillon, Barkly Region Sport Education Coordinator, Tennant & District Times
Students from Canteen Creek ventured onto the waterways of Policeman’s Waterhole this week.
The students have been kayaking the waterhole with the Barkly Region Sports Education Coordinator since 2015 and this year, was the furthest they have paddled on it.
The waterways opened up many more experiences for the students, accessing places they have not been able to get to in past years.
The windy weather was a challenge whilst paddling against it and all the students had to work as a team to manoeuvre their kayaks along the water.
They persisted and reached their favourite swimming spot. Travelling with the breeze proved to be fun, with the boys having a kayak race to the camp site.
The students hope to get back out on the waterways again this year with one of their teachers having just completed her kayak and canoeing certificate.
