7 Dec 2013: This morning we decided to take off to the Blue Mountains for the weekend and what great day its been. The mountain ranges are majestic with its rugged cliff faces and its magnificent views that go for ages. I’m looking forward to experiencing a sunrise tomorrow, walking the giant stair case and strolling amongst the forest floor. It is such a beautiful part of the Australia and the world.
The view just goes for ever.
4 Dec 2013: Today’s sunrise was gob smacking beautiful! I could tell that it was going to be a stunner from the moment I cast off at 4.50am. The morning tones were sublime with the eastern skyline evolving from soft purple pastels to a burst of gorgeous gold. Chances are that if you are out and about in the early hours of the morning you will experience something special.

30 Nov 2013: Green was the scene and it set the tone for this morning’s theme, get up early if you are keen. Is it obvious that I have been reading to many Dr Seuss books to my five years old? I had a pleasurable paddle into the wetlands this morning and immersed myself in a world of green and returned back happy as a bean.
I think that I discovered the wetland portal into a world of green.
24 Nov 2013: New faces and great personalities made for an enjoyable paddle on lake Ginninderra this morning. For some it was their first experience at paddling a kayak and hopefully it wont be their last. Thanks everyone, I had a great time and look forward to doing it again.
5am and off we go!
21 Nov 2013: What and optical feast the sunrise was this morning. I am continually blown away by the amount of beautiful sunrises and sunsets that Canberra continually produces. Every day has its own unique signature, one day I’ll be floating amongst the mist, the next morning I’ll be treated to gorgeous golden tones with pastels pinks to west. Then to top it all off you are gob smacked with sunrise like the one this morning where at one stage it looked as if liquid lava was floating on the surface.
5.24am: Liquid lava sunrise
20 Nov 2013: This afternoons sunset will be etched in my mind for some time to come. Its not too often that I get the opportunity to catch a sunrise, but this was definitely one to experience. I’m not going to rant and rave and tell you how great it is. I’ll just let the photos tell the story.
From the outset I could tell that it was going to be a very cool sunset.
20 Nov 2013: I know I keep saying it, but once again I have been treated to another stunning morning. The pastel tones transformed into a glorious golden glow as the sun popped up over the landscape, unveiling a beautiful day.
Once again I’m greeted with Pastel pinks to the West…..How good is that!
14 Nov 2013:
The first thing I noticed this morning was that LBG’s water levels have risen due the recent rains. On the 25 October 2013, NCA Acting Chief Executive, Andrew Smith said a technical assessment was commissioned to determine if the lake level could be raised prior to finishing work on the dam. ‘The NCA has received independent advice that it is safe to return the lake to full supply level,’ Mr Smith said. This was a perfect opportunity for me to drift amongst the magnificent mirror reflections of our wetlands.
Drifting my way through the wetlands is always an enjoyable experience
7 Nov 2013: This morning I was treated to a gorgeous sunrise and stunning silhouettes. I ventured over the mouth of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands and caught a the sunrise with ‘Pedro’ and his Squadron. Soon after that the members from The “Capital Lakes Rowing Club” were getting ready for their morning rowing session on LBG. Then to top it all of I decided to drift my way through the Kingston Foreshore developed. I don’t think it will be too long before the Kingston Foreshore will be alive and buzzing, I’m looking forward to grabbing a table, sitting back on the pier and enjoying the view. It’s going to be another beautiful day here in Canberra so I hope that you get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Have a great day!
