The paddle group is back on the water again after a long hiatus!

Five members of the paddle group met at Quota Park in Narooma to paddle the Wagonga Inlet. The day started out cloudy with the chance of rain but the by mid morning the sun was shining. With no wind, the Inlet water was like a mirror reflecting the trees and patches of brilliant green on lawn like paddocks running down to the water’s edge.

The Sea Eagle was sighted soaring on a thermal and Ian spotted an eagle’s eyrie high in a large tree by the water.

We covered about 9 km around the inlet and took a break on the way to view the small area of Rain Forest, home to a colony of Flying Foxes. Ian and Sharon walked into the forest on fairly good tracks guided by the chatter of the Flying Foxes to see them hanging in the trees.

Lunch was on a grassy peninsula in the sun. We hope to see more of the group on the next paddle on Monday 9 May when we will navigate from Moruya to Yarragee. If any members would like to join us, contact me, Mary as the ‘Paddle Coordinator’.
