Mind blowing performance to kick start Canberra’s 100th birthday celebrations.

Posted on March 11, 2013 by kayakcameraman

11 March 2013. Wow wow and wow…did I say wow enough. Lake Burley Griffin has started its 100th birthday celebrations with a mind blowing perfomance. Copper sunrises, balloon silhouettes were dotting the skies, then there was the show stopping showman in the Capital Chemist balloon. He even had time to chat as he changed over of his LPG gas cyclinder as the other ran out of juice while he was basket dragging across the basin towards Black Mountain Tower. He was that calm it felt like we were sitting on his back deck, kicking back and cruising for the afternoon. Unreal, fantastic, brilliant and as many other wow words you can use may come close to the experience I had this morning.

No need for speed

Posted on March 10, 2013 by kayakcameraman

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

Posted on March 7, 2013 by kayakcameraman

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.

The Sun and Fun Tour of 2012-13

Posted on February 2, 2013 by kayakcameraman

A great Aussie summer holiday

Every year we disappear to Crescent Head on the mid north coast for a six week camping adventure for a bit of sand, sun and fun and as usual it didn’t disappoint. The locals will kill me for letting the cat out of the bag, but it’s brilliant!
