| International paddling sensation and Canoe & Kayak magazine's "Paddling Hero", Freya Hoffmeister will indulge us with a harrowing account and slideshow presentation from her most formidable expedition yet- her record setting solo circumnavigation of Australia! At 9,400 miles, the Australian circumnavigation is regarded as one of the planet’s toughest sea-kayak challenges. At various times Freya faced massive storm-swell, tropical heat, crocodiles, and a shark that she says took a nibble of her 18-foot sea kayak. Perhaps the most remarkable challenge was three stretches of sheer limestone cliffs, each more than 100 miles long with stiff prevailing headwinds and no reasonable place to land. She was at sea for more than 30 hours to cross each section. Her most brazen exploit was a 350-mile open-ocean crossing that took her six days, and saved her weeks of plodding along the coastline. doors open at 6pm, show begins at 7pm cost: $8 (proceeds support Freya's adventures) + FREE raffle! 21 & over only |
