The International Rafting Federation World Rafting Championship 2019 will see top
teams from all corners of the globe come together in tropical Far North Queensland
to celebrate being part of the world’s largest river family.
Situated right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, the Cassowary Coast is a shining example of Australia’s rich cultural diversity,
unique biodiversity and warm and welcoming peoples. I look forward to sharing the
excitement, trepidation, thrills and spills that IRF competitions bring not just to the
competitors but to the whole community.
At this, our 18th World Rafting Championship, on behalf of the IRF, I reach out to
our rafting fraternity across the globe - irrespective of flags, emblems, or allegiance
- to come together. Let’s all push forward in our common goals to the betterment

For over 35 years the Tully River has thrilled rafters and visitors from all around the
world. It has been the fortunate few who have discovered the excitement of the
Tully River, thundering through the oldest rainforest on the planet.
The competition ahead of the athletes will challenge their grit, teamwork, and ability
to read the foaming fury of the Tully River.
This event has been organised by an incredibly dedicated team, and I would like
to take this opportunity to personally thank them all for doing an outstanding job at
bringing this incredible event together.
We ‘paddle salute’ these fine athletes and wish them the best of luck.

IRF History
HISTORY
Since 1997, the International Rafting Federation (IRF) is recognised
as the world governing body for Rafting. We are a non-profit,
democratic, global affiliation of sporting entities and personalities,
responsible for fostering fair, credible and legitimate international
rafting competition at all levels. The IRF organises the World Rafting
Championship (WRC), the top tier competition between the most
recognised and celebrated rafting athletes in the world who gather
together once a year to represent their respective nations. The IRF
also organises or oversees a tremendous variety of continental,
regional and local rafting competitions and championships.
Our purpose in sport is to promote Olympic values (called Olympism)
in order to place sport at the service of humanity for a better world.
IRF competitions closely follow the Olympic model and International
Olympic Committee (IOC) recommendations, while remaining true
to the traditions and history of our sport. The IRF supports the
fight against doping and any other forms of cheating in sport, and
is fully committed to a strong code of ethics, transparency, good
governance and accountability.
Recognised as the world body which oversees the certification and
training of professional river rafting guides, the IRF works closely with
national organisations and government bodies by offering the only
rafting guide certification program accepted worldwide. Through
our various courses and certifications, we ensure a global standard
of guides while continually evolving raft techniques to keep everyone
safer on rafting excursions.

IRF History
HISTORY
We recognise that humans are not the owners of our planet, but
instead are its caretakers and stewards. We believe free flowing
rivers are necessary for a healthy world, and we strive to protect them
from senseless destruction. Our intimate connection with rivers and
the natural environment places us in a key role dedicated towards
educating others to ensure that future generations enjoy sustainable
access to clean water and free flowing rivers.
The IRF is about bringing the world of rafting together so we can all
benefit from our interaction. This interaction may involve anything
from competing at the world championship level to being part of a
local grassroots event in your home town. Or it could be that once-
in-a-lifetime experience of going on a commercial raft trip locally or
around the world, whether it be for 1 hour or multiple days.
Rafting is a sport and recreational pursuit that is accessible to the
general public through commercial tourism operators, sport and
recreation clubs. Rafting is a low environmental impact activity that
creates awareness of conservation and environmental appreciation
while show-casing the skill elements involved in the sport. The
IRF, the trustee of the rafting tradition, maintains and promotes the
conditions which encourages the practice and the development of
rafting at all competition, commercial and recreational levels.

12Kareeya Hydro
About the power station
Kareeya Hydro, near Tully in Far North Queensland, has been providing
clean, green electricity to Queenslanders since 1957. It has a capacity of 88
megawatts (MW) produced by four generators, which provide power to the
National Electricity Market.
Taking its name from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘big water’, the Kareeya
Hydro project originally comprised construction of Koombooloomba Dam,
the Tully Falls Weir and Kareeya Hydro.
It is Kareeya Hydro’s ability to quickly start extra generators that is important in
ensuring a secure, reliable power supply for distribution to consumers.
about stanwell A $30 million upgrade of the station between 2005 and 2008 extended the life
of the power station by 25 years to 2050 and increased capacity, generation,
efficiency and reliability.

AUSTRALIA SOUT
AUSTRALIraft race Disciplines
Sprint
The Sprint is a hard, fast, short burst of speed for the teams. It is ideally over a fairly short distance and is about
two to three minutes of hard paddling for 10% off the overall points. It is always done first, cannot be on a Class 5
rapid and teams are set off one by one, hence racing the clock and not each other.
H2H
The H2H is without doubt the most visually exciting discipline as it is pitting two teams together in a fast paced
sprint for the finish line. It is ideally over a shortish distance but must be through a rapid, normally taking teams
about two to three minutes to run the course. The two teams are set off together with the team having the best
time in the Sprint being given lane choice. They have to negotiate one left hand buoy and one right hand buoy
from a minimum two buoys on each side. This leads to tactics being played and so is not all down to strength
and speed. It counts for 20% of the total points and is an elimination. The winner of each heat proceeds to the
next round and eventually just two teams will remain for the Final.
Slalom
The Slalom is the most technically challenging event and counts for 35% of the total points. This event demands
a high level of technique and teamwork to negotiate the rafts through a series of downriver and upriver gates in
powerful rapids. Touching, failing to pass or intentionally moving a gate results in a penalty. Each team runs the
course twice and their best time is used to determine the results.
DOWNRIVER
The Downriver is the star event and is worth 35% of the total score. The race is close to an hour of racing along
of a section of continuous and powerful rapids. Technical ability and endurance are essential elements to
ensuring a good position in this event which is crucial for the teams that aspire to win the Championship. The
points earned by the teams in the previous events determine their position in the starting line-up in groups up to
five rafts.

Putting local knowledge
into reef action
Farmers in the Tully region are trialling ways to reduce nitrogen, sediment and pesticide run-off to the Great
Barrier Reef lagoon. New and retrofitted technologies like bioreactors, high efficiency sediment basins and
man-made wetlands are being tested to see how effective they are at improving the quality of water entering
local waterways.
This major reef water quality project is funded by the Queensland Government, but designed locally. It is
responding to community demand for relevant, local information about water quality, and solutions that are
informed by landscape conditions and local knowledge. It’s part of the effort being made by the broader
agricultural network, that is working toward enduring and sustainable landscapes that benefit the local
community.

27Our Local Industry
The Tully Sugar Industry started in 1924 and now 220 growers farm 35,000 ha and each year supply crops of 2.4—2.9m
tonnes of sugar cane to Tully mill. 32 modern harvesting groups cut the cane from June to December. Most of the cane is
hauled to the mill on narrow gauge cane railway and some is transported by road.
Tully Sugar mill crushes the cane and the 320—380,000 tonnes of raw sugar produced each year is transported to Mourilyan
Harbour for export.
Our Corporate Vision
To ensure a secure and profitable future for Tully cane growers.
Our Mission
CANEGROWERS provides representation, leadership and services, and promotes unity the interests of its members.
