“Day 3 delivers again — big swell, big breeze, big moves.”
Day 3’s second finals race shows just how fierce the 2025 AWMRC battle has become. The swell builds, the breeze holds, and both teams commit fully to every moment — tight pre‑starts, bold calls, and clean ex*****on through the waves. This race adds another chapter to a finals series defined by grit and precision, captured from the sky in full detail.

“Preserving WA’s steam heritage — one journey at a time.”
The Steam Ranger rolls out of Isandra Siding and into the wide‑open paddocks of the Hotham Valley, a reminder of how much of WA’s heritage lives beyond the towns and stations. These early stretches of countryside are part of the journey thousands have enjoyed over the decades.

The original train audio wasn’t available today, so a gentle steam whistle and acceleration bed help keep the feel of the run without taking away from the scenery.
Share the moment and help keep WA’s steam history alive.

“Avon running on fumes — only the toughest will tame Bells if the river doesn’t rise.”

Stilldroneinon takes you over the Avon River at Bells Rapids and beyond, showing the raw truth from above: the river is thin, the rocks are hungry, and every line into Bells is unforgiving. For anyone eyeing the Avon Descent on 8.8.26, this is shaping up to be a brutal test of grit, skill, and sheer determination.

The forecast rain next week is the wildcard. Will it lift the river enough to open the lines, soften the hits, and give competitors a fighting chance — or will Bells stay shallow and savage.

Right now, it’s a waiting game. Competitors are watching the sky. The river is waiting. And we’re all hoping the rain arrives with enough force to change the story.
