ACDC Desert Dragons welcome people from near and far to come and join our club for friendship, fitness, well-being and if you choose — racing. Our club is located in the Tatiara region (Upper South East of South Australia). Towns included in the Tatiara are Bordertown, Keith, Mundulla, Padthaway, Wolseley and surrounding districts. We meet at the Bordertown Recreation Lake and Cockatoo Lake. Trainings are twice a week, Sunday morning and Wednesday afternoon. After training on Sundays we get together for coffee and chat.

The things new paddlers ask us most. More in our full FAQ.
You don’t have to be physically fit to begin — many members started having never played any sport. Our Season Program builds fitness gradually and safely in three phases, and is designed for all levels.
Just a bottle of water. Everything else is supplied — paddle, life jacket, boat and laughter.
ACDC welcomes paddlers from age 9 up, with members ranging up to 65+. Racing has divisions for all ages, so there’s no limit to what you can achieve regardless of age.
Season fees are confirmed via our online registration portal. All memberships include DBSA & AusDBF registration, insurance, and equipment. Or try it first, free, with a Dragon Pass.
Absolutely. Plenty of our paddlers enjoy the fitness and social side without racing competitively — as long as the coaches know your intent.
Just bring a water bottle and your sense of adventure — we supply the paddle, the life jacket, the boat and the laughter.
Whether you want to try paddling, book a corporate team-building session, or just ask a question.
