There should be a set on the middle rack of paddles on the left side.
Sheep, like all wool-bearing animals, instinctively travel north, where it's colder, and they won't be so stuffy.

Since people seem to be going outback again I thought I'd dredge up this old post. Rules are in the first post. Can anyone knock Simon off his throne?!

Just for context, I went out today and did 37.58. Those times from before are seriously quick!!

54.30 in the white exo.

Pretty high outback. Didnt realise how fast the water was moving til i got as far corbally. Rough enough paddle back. Would not advise beginners to be brought down in high water.

So I think I may have reached the pinnacle of my procrastination. I decided to rank all of the times on this forum. I can edit and update times as people post them up in the future.
