Penrith Whitewater's Marketing Manager, Simonetta Lo Po’ said "Kayaking is great fun and we would like to invite the local community to try it for themselves.
Activities will take place under the friendly guidance of qualified Penrith Whitewater instructors.
If you are curious about the sport of kayaking, this is a great opportunity to give it a try.”
