Cruising the waterways of Tuross Head

April 2013: I headed down to Tuross Head with three of my mates for a boy’s weekend away. We arrived to massive seas, rainy conditions and a huge southerly that was gusting up to 50 Km’s. These inclement conditions would normally drive most people indoors for the afternoon, but for us, we just put on a rain jacket and went in search for area’s that were protected from these gusty conditions. Tuross head and its surrounding areas are the perfect place as there is  a multitude of meandering waterways to suits any scenario. So in true style we dived head first into our boy’s weekend away. I hope you like the photo story.

High winds and rainy conditions does not  deter us!

14 April 2013: The start was sublime, the sunrise was mesmerising, the wonderful wetlands was the perfect place to stage such an event and the morning which unfolded was divine! This would have to be the biggest blog roll ever! What a transformation! So many exclamation marks! I experienced an absolute stunner of a morning! This is what living is all about!

6.02am: At this point I’m thinking that this is shaping up to be another cracker.

An Awesome Autumn Morning

6 April 2013: Balloons were floating overhead, scull’s were flying by, kayakers were cruising the water ways and plenty of walkers /joggers were treated to an awesome autumn morning on Lake Burley Griffin. Mystical soft tones set the scene ,dull skies turned red to orange, then the morning clouds combined with the sun and turned the skies into a painters palate.

A mystical start to the morning

They could be called the Magic Mountains

Easter Weekend: How good are our Snowy Mountains. I have just spent four days, body surfing down rapids, being chair lifted to great heights, walking alpine tracks, hanging out with my head in the clouds on Mt Kosciusko and being treated to a new paddling experience on Lake Jindabyne each day.  What a blast!

We decided to head up into the Snowy Mountains rather than head to the coast as we usually do. We had the opportunity to stay at the Lake Crackenback Resort and what a winner that was. We had the best time, so much to do, so much to see and a weekend of perfect weather just topped it all off. What a brilliant summer destination and I could only imagine how picturesque it must be during winter. This resort is so close to the ski tube as well. We ski all the time during winter but this was our first time to the resort and it certainly won’t be our last. We will definitely be checking in for a stay during the ski season and I can’t wait to see what snap shots I will be able to snare with snow capped mountains in the back ground.

They could have been called the magic mountain instead.

No need for speed

10 March 2013: There wasn’t any need for speed at all again this morning, the most important thing you have to make sure of is that you sponge in as much as you can; especially when there’s a light show like this. I had the best Sunday morning cruise on LBG this morning with Matt and Tim. What more can you ask for, great conditions, brilliant colours and excellent company……thanks guy’s had a great morning.

Down in the East Basin, loving the pre-dawn tones.

Thursday Morning Cruise

7 March 2013: Crystal clear skies and light winds made for a very relaxing paddle on LBG this morning. I was out there for an early start so I had plenty of time to take in the pre-dawn glow from the East Basin, cruise past the Carillon into the Main Basin to see the soft tones and then I sat back and took in another stunning light show.

Another beautiful start to the day.

Mixed bag of WOW!

6 March 2013: What a WOW of a morning!

What an unbelievable morning on LBG. It had it all, predawn mist floating on  the surface, lights reflecting from our landmarks, silhouettes, golden tones,  pastels to the west and then to finish off I was treated to a balloon bonanza.The odd thing is that this happens more often than not…..The judges have  given ten out of ten this morning for LBG!

Wetlands Zen

24 Feb 2013: There was a brief break from the wind and the rain this morning so I decided to venture up in the Jerrabomberra Wetlands for a bit of Zen. It hard to believe that the wetlands are only five kilometres from the CBD of Canebrra. You would swear that you are miles away from anything!
