Unfortunately for this town, it is only renowned for thing.... Tubing!!! Tubing is a bar crawl down a river on an inner tube of a tractor tire... With a whole load of slides, swings & jumping off points into the unknown waters beneath... Its a drunken boys playground - which is awesome, however it is also deadly!! Especially when alcohol and other herbal substances are thrown in the mix with the boisterous banter, whose only aim is to out perform each other - can & does turn sour!!
Whilst we were there all the slides, ramps and jump offs were closed, not due to the countless injuries but to 8 fatalities within the past few months...
The sad thing is the town is absolutely beautiful, has good food, as well as a number of extreme sport activities that can be done, other than getting out of your tree... But like most tourists, I'm ashamed to say we only partied hard then left!
However there's always next time....
