Known as Bhundoo on Yuin Country, the Clyde River begins its journey in the Great Dividing Range, flowing through national parks, sustaining mangrove forests and seagrass beds before meeting the sea at Batemans Bay, one hour’s drive north of Narooma. Last year, this mighty waterway produced 3.5 million Sydney Rock Oysters, making it one of Australia’s most celebrated oyster estuaries.
Guided by Region-X, this gentle paddle takes you through working oyster leases before arriving at Oyster Shed on Wray Street for your tasting with fifth generation oyster farmer Jade Norris – all from the comfort of your kayak.
You’ll arrive back onshore with an insider’s view of sustainable cultivation techniques and how environmental factors shape the distinct flavour – or merroir – of each harvest.
