Terrific Tuross

How good is this place! Amazing, spectacular and beautiful are just a few words that can be used to describe Tuross Head. It was the first time that I had ever been to Tuross and it certainly will not be last. Three of us, Big Steve, Matt and myself decided to have a boy’s weekend away that would involve paddling, fishing and of course a bit of good old fashioned socialising. Matt and I are the keen kayak paddling ones, while big Steve’s the type of bloke that could fish for 30 hours in a 24 hour day. Matt and I would be out at the crack of dawn exploring the water ways of Tuross while Steve would try and better his record catch of a 90 centimetre Flat Head. We were so lucky, we ended up with the best weather that anyone could ask for; perfect calm conditions for three entire days.

A morning mystery

At 6.27am, the sky was crystal clear, promising a beautiful day in Canberra.

7.13am, the mist had rolled in from the wetlands, making it look like a scene from Harry Potter.

But the mist and fog disappeared as quickly as it came to leaving us with a stunning day in the Capital.

10.37am, It was such blooming good day that I had to take the plywood kayak out for a spin!

A different perspective

It was minus 5 that morning; you know its cold when the water freezes and turns to ice on your kayak hatch. I remember it well, the lake was covered in fog, the water was like a sheet of glass and then suddenly the fog cleared and the morning sun burst through long enough for me to race over underneath the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge to snap this shot.

Minutes later the lake was engulfed again.

Great way to send off winter

What a great way to send off winter. After a cold day of squalling winds and patchy rain, who would have ever thought that the day would turn out like this? It was truly stunning! My main aim was to paddle into the main basin to capture a silhouette sunset of the Brindabella Mountain range, but as I paddled under the Kings Avenue Bridge I noticed that the water was a like a sheet of glass and the Carillion foreshore lit up by the sunset.
