The Australis Barra kayak is a general purpose kayak suitable for use by people who have never
paddled before.
Small enough to be easily paddled by an 8 year old child, but with enough room
to take a large adult.
The Australis Barra is very stable, with a large cockpit and lots of leg room. It's extra width makes it very stable and therefore a popular choice for creek fishing. We can fit rod holders, hatches, paddle clips etc. to suit.
It is the perfect kayak for floating along on flat water or for people who
would like to have a go at low grade white water kayaking. The Barra is an improvement on the earlier model, the Australis Bass and now boasts a small keel for better tracking.

The Bass 2-Up kayak from Australis is a general purpose kayak, suitable for use by 1 or 2 adults, on flat
water.
Not as sleek and fast as the Drifter II, and doesn't track quite as well, but equally as stable.
The rear seat is permanently affixed, whilst the front seat can be moved to a
middle position. This makes it easier for an adult to take 2 children at once.
At 26 kg, the Australis Bass II can be lifted onto a car by one person.
