On Saturday, 2nd of August, we headed off to the little town of Toodyay, about an hours drive inland, to check out the Avon Descent, a kayak river race. We've had heaps of rain so far this winter so the river was very full which made for some interesting watching. Last year the competitors had to carry their kayaks at some points in the river because there wasn't enough water, this year they had to close a section because there was too much water and it was too rough - so they still had to carry their boats! They also had a food festival there so we tried out some 'special' sausage on a bun with sauce and onions - mmm , it was yummy!
