PORT LINCOLN ....... a deep sea port and a City of 15,000 residents, is situated on the southern most tip of Eyre Peninsula in the State of South Australia.
The City is proud of its Aquaculture (Blue Fin Tuna, Prawns, Mussels, Oysters and fish), its Agricultural Industries, its scenery, great white sharks and DRAGONS ABREAST PORT LINCOLN.
DAPL was formed on Australia Day, January 26th 2004 during the annual Tunarama Festival where dragon boat racing was introduced and included "Come 'n Try" sessions. The interest then of a mix of Both Breast Cancer Survivors and Supporters is one of the strong characteristics of our group to this day.
We launched our brand new fully equipped dragon boat on 27th November 2004 after much fundraising, laughter and tears and very strong support from our local Community.
Our training sessions involve dodging the many large fishing vessels in the waters of Lincoln Cove Marina. There is nothing more exhilarating than paddling with dolphins, seals and the occasional great white shark, which are curious of the splashing in the water and of the noiseless "pink dragon'' sliding through their habitat.
Over the past 4 years, our lively and diverse group of 72 members, with a range of ages from 22 years to 82 years, have made new friendships, given support to each other and enjoy being involved in local Community events.
