Where is Arafura Dragons Paddlers Club?
Our club house or ‘the cage’ is located at Cullen Bay Marina, opposite the Cullen Bay ferry terminal. Getting to the cage is via a decked walkway that is opposite the ferry terminal. Come through the walkway; follow the Arafura Dragons arrow sign down the stairs to the right onto the lower level board-walk. The club cage is at the end of the board-walk. Look out for the purple club flag.
