It was like a mill pond out there

The end of the line in Ryans Creek

Seven kayakers launched at South Durras boat ramp to circumnavigate the lake and explore Ryans Creek –  about 13 km.  The original plan was to launch from Sharon’s home on the creek, however, once again the rain impacted us leaving her local launching spot muddy and very wet. Sharon lead us via the lake and creek as far as we could paddle. A large tree or maybe two, blocked the passage so we turned around and continued back along the creek to the lake.

Morning tea and lunch was taken on a very pleasant sandy/gravel beach. What a delight to not have muddy foot wear as has been the norm on our recent bushwalks.

Thank you Sharon for being our guide under overcast skies,  thankfully no wind, which kept the temperate up.
