Planned new trip

  • Need list of stores/businesses/people that lend/hire kayaks
    • Listing from YellowPages - Kayak Hire (29 Results in Metro Brisbane) - Canoe Hire filter only has 2 but others do do kayak hire (not complete). Anaconda is missing.
    • Riverlife
    • Anaconda - Slack's Creek offering 1/2 price discount to Brisbane Paddler's group. Perhaps will do same for Andesang?
    • Roscoe Canoes - Ph. Matt at 3359 9330 - see Andesang Kayak Meetup group
    • Do kayak hire shops also rent out a (one size fits all) roof racks? I'll ring tomorrow but just in case you know the answer before I ring ...
      • They do hire out roof racks, not necessarily for each car. Have to ring each one I think. --daz 03:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
