My dad had one of the very first AVON river rafts imported into the country 40 years ago through the AVON agents at the time, just before river rafting in NZ took off. I can remember that it cost almost as much as a new Kingswood in the day. Had a 1,000kg pay load so as you can imagine, you lived like kings for 10 days. Even took real spuds with us instead of flaky potato, and a cast iron camp oven!
