For the Girls

Here at Barrington Outdoor Adventure Centre, we rarely see groups of girls taking time out for themselves.  So we thought we’d design the ultimate Girl’s Adventure/Pamper Weekend - because you know you deserve it.

Here’s the plan, get a group of friends together, there doesn’t need to be a special occasion, just celebrate good friends and good times.  Jump in the car or on the train one Saturday morning and make your way to Gloucester.  You’ll need to be here by 9.30 am if you want to sample one of Brian’s famous Espresso’s before Yoga begins (we know that’s naughty but so’s chocolate!).  That’s right, one hour of stretching and breathing to shed any stress you may have brought from the city and to prepare you for your day’s kayaking.

We’ll then get you decked out in all the gear you need to kayak the beautiful Barrington River – we can tailor the kayaking to your level of adventure, either Grade 1 or 2 depending on whether you’re more focused on the stunning scenery or the whitewater action.  You’re experienced guide will give you all the instruction you need for a fun and safe afternoon on the water.

We’ll stop halfway for a fresh, hot gourmet lunch on the river bank and finish mid-afternoon when we’ll bring you back to BOAC Headquarters for hot showers and afternoon tea.

In the afternoon, local therapists will be here to massage any sore muscles or give you that beauty treatment you’ve been putting off for so long.

As the sun sets over Gloucester’s famous Buchan Buchan, you can sit back, relax and sip on a glass of wine and laugh with your friends.  We’ll prepare you a delicious BBQ dinner of local produce – all you have to do is enjoy it!
When you’re ready, you can retire to the bunk room for a well earned night’s sleep.  We’ll greet you in the morning with a beautiful espresso coffee and a continental breakfast.

Sunday’s activity is a downhill mountain bike ride through the Copeland Tops open woodlands and rainforest to the Bowman Valley.  We’ll have lunch among the bellbirds and wallabies in the heart of the forest. 

Our final activity is a tour of Hillview Herb Farm where you can sample a wide variety of culinary and medicinal herbs and relax with a cup of herbal tea.
We’ll be back at BOAC in the afternoon, giving you plenty of time to get back to the city.  You might even want to stop in at a couple of the local wineries on your way.
