UQ Canoe Club

UQ Canoe Club Welcome to the official page for the UQ Canoe Club. Follow us to get updates on upcoming events and activities. Don't miss out! http://www.uqcanoeclub.net/

This page is a forum to get to know other members of the club, share photos and arrange social events. The UQ Canoe Club has a range of sea kayaking, canoe polo, white water, flatwater, canoeing, camping, and safety equipment for members to use. You don't need to be a student to join and as a member of the club you can participate in massively discounted trips including local river paddles such as

the Noosa and upper Brisbane rivers, weekends in Moreton Bay, or white water kayaking! Social paddles to places like the West End markets are common and there are plenty of daily paddlers you can tag along with on the river. The UQ Canoe club organises and runs a large number of trips throughout the year. These trips are posted on our website (http://www.uqcanoeclub.net/) and a link is provided on this page. We want to encourage people to get out paddling as much as possible, but please note that only trips organised by club members and posted on the UQCC website can be considered official club trips. Happy paddling!

Be prepared for this Saturday where we will undertake a trip to the heart of Brisbane - The Story Bridge! 🕺

Built during the Great Depression, the Story Bridge is the largest steel bridge designed, fabricated and constructed in Australia by Australians. This will be a day paddle from our club shed to the bridge, where we will see an angle of the city rarely seen by pedestrians 🤯

We will have some lunch and coffee in the city before returning to our shed.

Time: 9:44am - 5pm
Distance: 18km total with tidal assistance
