    2021 Avon Descent Competitor Guide avondescent.com.au WELCOME The Avon Descent race will take you on an exciting two day trial, over 124 gruelling kilometres. The race offers competitors conditions ranging from long stretches of flat water that can test the endurance of the fittest athletes, rapids, thick ti trees, rocky drops to all the other challenges of a changing, wild river environment. The Avon Descent travels through some of Western Australia’s most picturesque country, and as you descend, you’ll pass through the farming regions of historic Northam and Toodyay, forested national parks, steep gorges, the Swan Valley vineyard region and eventually, into the tidal waters of the upper Swan River. Competitors challenge the Avon and Swan Rivers in a variety of power dinghies and paddle craft including single and double kayaks and surf skis and other sundry craft. Relay teams of two and four can also compete. Competitors are supported by family and friends as support crews and thousands of spectators line the banks to cheer them on. 2 Avon Descent 2021 Avon Descent 2021 3 OUR TEAM BOARD OF DIRECTORS AVON DESCENT LEGENDS Chairperson Greg Kaeding In 2012, the 40th Anniversary of the Avon Descent, the NADA Board sanctioned Director, Finance John King the creation of a special recognition for individuals to be known as the Avon Director, Governance Phil Kitney Descent Legends.

Australia Motocross champ hits shire road block Roger Simms A 2.4km motocross training track built without approval on farmland in Wattening is now in limbo and may have to be closed down or removed following a decision by the Toodyay Shire Council. The dirt track, with banks, turns and jump points, covers an area 450m by 250m on an 818-acre property in Bull Road near the border of the Toodyay and Victoria Plains shires, about 4km south of Bolgart. Steve Walsh and Karene Quinn applied for retrospective approval of the track which is used by Mr Walsh’s son Darren, a state motocross champion. The track has drawn strong community opposition over concerns about noise and dust pollution and possible contamination of a water source. Landowners, the Water Corporation, the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and The Victoria Plains Shire all opposed the application in submissions to the council or urged more checks, especially about water. The recommendation to council at last week’s meeting, however, was that the application be approved. Planning officer Hugo de Vos said in his report that a thorough examination of the proposal made it difficult to justify refusal. Many of the concerns raised were related to potential future development, which went beyond the scope of the application.
