More than 3,600 yellow rubber duckies raced to the finish line at the annual Great Rotary Whitewater Duck Race last Saturday at Penrith Whitewater Stadium.
Each little duckie represented a ticket sold to raise much-needed funds for local Hawkesbury-based charities and not-for-profits, including the Rotary Club of Kurrajong North Richmond which holds the annual event.
This year’s event was bigger than ever, with the help of Penrith Rotary Club.
People were on a razor’s edge of excitement as the thousands of little duckies plummeted to the swirling whitewater below them as they were released from a giant crate.
The winning duckie earned $5000 for his lucky ticket-holder after exploding to the finish line in a matter of minutes.
The Rotarians certainly know how to host a great day out, and days like these don’t come about without plenty of behind-the-scenes time and effort.
