20 Ducks back on the pond

final leg.

After the last 77km the Dragons docked at Swan Hill. They had covered 404km, been the first Dragon Boat in the 50-yearold event and met a horde of new friends.

“Some had canoes, some were in kayaks, there were even a few who stood up and paddled their boards the whole way, but the crew that touched all of us was a brother and sister who had both suffered injuries to one of their arms. They devised and constructed a contraption that allowed them to work together to reach the finish line.”

Well done Dragons! What’s your next adventure? CHRISTMAS hams attracted a flock of Ducks – Dubbo Ducks – to the Olympic Pool last Sunday.

“Perfect weather, the allure of some Christmas treats and the pool in pristine condition were the ingredients for a much fuller quackery,” according to Judy Walsh.

One Duck missed was Reg Ferguson who is recovering from recent surgery.

“We hope to have him back in the flock before too long. Our thoughts and prayers are with one of our longest serving and most committed swimmers,” Judy added.
