Classic Boating Day / Week – Loxton September 21st – 23rd 2026
Introduction
Given the success of the previous year’s trip to the Glenelg River and Wentworth, WBASA has once again decided to get away in 2026 for a few days.
The plan this time is to head to Loxton in the Riverland and explore its surroundings.
Some participants in this event are likely to be members of both WBASA and RCBC.
WBASA would prefer that those who hold joint memberships register their interest in attending through the WBASA Jotform process,
if you don’t register through this WBASA online form you will not be included in further updates and other bookings for ancillary support activities like driver transport shuffles, BBQ’s, Dinners etc.
You will also not be covered by WBASA insurance where applicable.
This WBASA event does have a registration fee to cover some activities planned and administration.
Your cooperation in providing prompt and accurate registration details would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions please contact the Event Manager

Itinerary
There are 2 x 1 day voyages planned for this CBD and 1 day set aside so we can explore Loxton, as usual all boating is weather dependent.
- Downstream on Monday to explore Katarapko Creek with a BBQ lunch.
- Tuesday, explore Loxton and surrounds.
- Upstream on the Murray towards Rilli Reserve, then find a place for lunch.
Accommodation
Loxton and its surrounds has many types of accommodation from Motels to Caravan Parks and Home Stays. You will need to arrange your own accommodation for the event. Best to first try the Caravan Park at Loxton or maybe stay on the River Murray Queen.
Boat Ramps and Mooring
Excellent Ramp and Pontoon facilities at Loxton and for those staying on boats there are many locations to tie up overnight.
Additional Information
WBASA insurance does not cover your boat or any damage it may cause.
You are expected to have the appropriate insurance at this WBASA event.
Be mindful of new life jacket / PFD requirements now enforced by Marine Safety.
A two way radio is very helpful at these events, the WBASA preferred is a UHF radio with channel 27 selected.
