Slalom site list
From this site pdf files describing all the key competitive slalom sites in Victoria (and elsewhere in Australia) will be accessible. Recognising that, for the parents of new paddlers in particular, knowing where the various sites we talk about are and the ‘creature comforts’ associated with each, is important we hope this helps.
If you have any suggestions to improve the information here (or add to it) please contact us.
