    Been keeping an eye on the river heights. Last week they were too high, but by the weekend I reckoned they'd be perfect. A few phone calls later, and we were doing the Chandler and Macleay again. 6 canoes and 2 kayaks and 14 blokes. Got to our camping site before dark Friday. A heap of beer...

    Just back from a camping trip. A week at 'West Kunderang', on the Macleay River. 6 families and 16 kids under 10. Did some paddleing on the river and some fishing. Those Bass are elusive, only got 2, and you have to work hard to get them, they are smart. Photo of my two older kids in the...

    We'll do that trip one day in a raft with professionals. Kids have to be 14 though, so some years off yet. Nope. See him about though. He's still into bikes, road and dirt. He's coal mining and doing very well. See ya's.

    2 new kayaks. Bought 2 new kayaks over the weekend for the 2 older kids. Took them over to the creek just behind my house and bunged them into the biggest hole. The kids can practice over about a 50 metre run. Going very well. They are australis 'bass' models. Flat bottomed, very stable. My...

    Crikey! Spose you realise how cold the Barrington Tops will be in June? :eek: Snows there a couple of times every winter. I love my canoeing, but by the end of this month the canoe will be put away till October. Definately warm weather activity only for me. See ya's.

    We all need some excitement in our lives. Doing these rapids on a raft or a proper single man Kayak would have been pretty boring. Being tipped over was the highlight of the trip. These big simple canoes, fully loaded ment the otherwise boring rapids were a great challenge to get down. Being...

    My sig these days is 'Your a long time dead'. So that means, don't talk about it, get out and do it. We've been camping every October on a cattle farm on the Macleay River, in the middle of the Oxley Wild Rivers national park for a few years, and we often see people and canoes going past...
