One of Perth’s most iconic races is the Avon Descent, running for two days along a stretch of 124 km of the Avon and Swan Rivers.  This year, following some heavy rainfalls, the water was high and the rivers were angry.

Shutterpups had two options for the weekend, with fast flowing and white water in and near Toodyay on day one and the excitement at the finish line and festival in Bayswater on day two.  Unfortunately, when a powerboat flipped before us at the finish line, we were watching the race with our eyes instead of our lenses!  The contestants were ok, with one asking if we managed to capture his ‘stunt’.
