Rafting or whitewater rafting is an extreme sports activity utilizing a raft to navigate a river or other bodies of water.
This is usually done on white water or different degrees of rough water, in order to thrill and excite the group of raft passengers.
The development of this activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the mid 1970s. There are many white water rafting operators in
Australia, mostly in scenic wilderness area in the upper gorges of rivers. Some involve trips of several days camping each day beside the
river with camping gear and food provided. Others are shorter in less pristine areas near the major cities. There is a grading for White Water Rapids from 1 to 6,
with 1 being the easiest and safest and grade 5 being the highest grade for commercial rafting groups. Rafting instructors will teach you all
you'll need to know to enjoy your time on the river. This will include safety procedures, paddling techniques and what to do if you happen to fall out of the raft.
