Five members and one visitor met in Nelligen to paddle Cyne Mallowes an off shoot of the Clyde River.

The day started out with high clouds and rather chilly. By mid morning the sun was out and what a display we were treated to. The reflections in the water were mirror like.

Clyne Mallowes starts out as a wide section of water and the further we paddled, narrowed to quiet water, tall trees with some green paddocks . As the tide was high the group were able to journey well up the available navigable water, reaching further than we have done before, about 12 km.

As so much of the land around the water edge is private property, the only way to experience this gem on the Clyde River is by water craft. This is reason for it being so quiet with little to disturb the truly incredible reflections.

A sunny spot was found for morning tea with lunch back on the river bank at Nelligen.
