Packrafting the Denison River in South West Tasmania

A five day packrafting trip down the Denison and Gordon Rivers. We got dropped off by boat (thanks Todd!) and walked into the Denison on the first day. Day 2 down to Roslyn's Pool and Day 3 to near Shark's Mouth Rapid on the Gordon. Day 4 we went past Sir Johns Falls to Shag Point. Day 5 we paddled out to Heritage Landing before catching the ferry back to Strahan. Huge thanks to Ivor and kids who collected us and drove us back to Hobart that afternoon!

We had 20mm of rain on Day 1 so the Denison was up a little however the Gordon was only at minimal release so it was a slow second half to the trip with lots of flatwater.
