Paddling the calm<br />

waters of Northern<br />

QLD - the perfect way<br />

to take in the scenery<br />

RIVERS? WHAT RIVERS?<br />

Well, surprise, surprise - Mother Nature doesn’t always play along. Covering<br />

the travel tales around Tommy Jacobson’s plan to paddle the longest rivers in<br />

Australia was torpedoed this past November due to bad weather. Tommy tells<br />

us that his first planned trip, of all things, on the Murrumbidgee River was<br />

unfortunately put on hold due to storms and wild weather.<br />

Not that it’s kept him out of the water, though. He sent us some pics from a<br />

road trip to Northern QLD instead where he spent a month up there traveling,<br />

exploring and riding different boards. Here’s a few snaps of the paddling and<br />

training around the idyllic islands and bays of the North.<br />

Bring on the river trips and tales. Keep abreast of it all at tommyjacobson.com<br />
