23 Feb 2014: Backlit clouds beamed golden rays of light into the morning skies over Canberra creating a wonderful atmosphere. The crazy cloud formations and the beautiful light combined perfectly to produce some wild reflections on a very calm morning.
The reflections were amazing. Stunning Sunday has begun.
15 Feb 2014: The rain has finally arrived. This morning I was engulfed by a sea of grey formations that were continually swirling around me. This provided an absolutely stunning foreground and backdrop for my paddle.

8 Feb 2014: The swans were floating amongst pastel tones, there were hovering balloons and I was treated to golden sunrise. Crystal clear blue skies soon took over as I paddled my way into another stunning Canberra day. It doesn’t get much better than this, the conditions were so good that my planned 2 hour paddle turned into a 4 hour pleasure cruise.
5.49am: The morning was so good that even the local were just floating around and were in no hurry at all.

1 Feb 2014: This morning I drifted into a gorgeous golden sunrise with Emma Macdonald in ‘The Big Bopper’ my double Kayak on Lake Burley Griffin. There wasn’t any need for speed at all as the conditions were near perfect. The temperature was spot on and the winds were non existent, these combinations made for a very enjoyable experience watching the day begin. I think that our highest warp speed was a blistering 500 metres per hour and to top it all off we were treated to a pier side coffee delivery from from Remedy which is located at the Kingston foreshore. The company was fantastic and the sunrise was brilliant…what a perfect way to start the day.
5.29am: This is shaping up to be an excellent morning.
26 Jan 2014: It was a golden start to what is sure to be a wonderful Australia Day. There are so many fantastic things happening all over Australia today especially here in the nations capital, Canberra. I hope that you will get the chance to enjoy the festivities with your family and friends.
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!
