Rod did not step in anything, it was personal… I jest. Morning tea.

Coila Lake was traversed and enjoyed on a warm but overcast morning, followed by exploration of Coila Creek as far as the water level allowed. For a couple of kayaks rather further than was perhaps wise!

Max touched rock bottom and with some difficulty and the “frog” hopping manoeuvre, managed to free his kayak for an uneventful return back along the creek and into the open waters of the lake. The wind came up so our leader took us across the lake to Miriam and (Bushwalking President) Rob’s property where we availed ourselves of their lakeside beach for lunch.

After lunch we hugged the shore line until reaching a point where as promised by our esteemed leader, with the wind behind us, we returned across the lake to the cars.
