Name: Joseph Dunne

Home town: Leura, Blue Mountains, Australia

About me: I played soccer for about eight years but after a wile I got bored of kicking a ball. So I decided I would start looking for a new sport. I have always had an interest in boats. In 2007 my mum suggested that I try out some whitewater kayaking. So I enrolled in the junior development program at Penrith whitewater stadium. Kayaking for me has now grown from being just a sport to being a passion and has been the best decision of my life so far. I hope to compete in future world kayaking events and be the best boater I can.
