HISTORY
The Onkaparinga Canoe Club (The OCC) is one of South Australia's oldest canoe clubs, incorporated in 1976.
We are located on the tidal estuary of the Onkaparinga River at Port Noarlunga, in the Southern suburbs of Adelaide.
The OCC is a small and friendly club that caters for all ages and levels of experience. Since 1976, the club has produced many state, national, and international competitors. Amongst the notables are Olympians Scott Wooden (1984) and Olympic Medalist Ian Rowling (1992) - both trained at and competed for the Onkaparinga Canoe Club during their paddling careers.
