There are plenty of tassie paddlers, it just the lack of water that is holding us back at the moment. If you are in the in the south keep an eye on
groups.google.com/group/DCC-Paddle-Flash?hl=en, and if you want to paddle the north send me a private message with you number, and i will tell you when the local rivers are up. I can't help you if you are in Victoria though.
