If anyone is planning on scouting out the MMP new Day Five, can you please send me some photos and maybe a few details on your journey.

The MMP DAY THREE is our dedicated 'Be Bright Be Seen' Day. This is our way of giving a little something back to our sport; in terms of a great safety message.
Be Bright Be Seen

We may make it fun, with coloured wigs and shirts, however being seen out on the water-ways is very important.

Hi there paddlers.....

Well it is now JULY and this means it the MMP has become my full-time job for the next 136 days.... YES that's right - only 136 days till the start of the 2024 MMP.

The course is currently holding firm at Yarrawonga to Koondrook.
currently, there are no floods, environmental watering, or any bugs....

let's hope that 2024 is the year where we can get DAY 2 from Tocumwal to Picnic Point and DAY 5 in the forest from Gunbower to Koondrook.
Train hard and be well prepared.
