Yahoo!!!!
we have sailable water in Waranga basin, Lake Eppalock, and Cairn Curran Res.
However, there are some issues with vegetation that has grown during the drought and care close to shore should be taken for submerged trees etc.
For Lake Eppalock the best weather readings are from the Redesdale AWS on the BOM site and if it averages 17kts SE-SW then it is a go.
The Kimbolton pool is best for kiting and windsurfing at the Swimming area.
Cairn Curran is best in Sth to westerly winds, from the Yacht club or the far side Boat ramp.
At both lakes, beware or floating logs, the logs that used to lay on bottom as fish habitats, dried out and until they saturate again are floating. Sometimes the log is a whole tree with a sliver viewable.
See you on the water.

Are all those places around Bendigo. Are any of them my side of Bendigo.
I moved to StArnaud at christmas and have been looking for places to go.
Right now there's a wealth of options, lakes appeared everywhere over the weekend and most of them will be full for a few years now.
WOOOOO HOOOOO!!

all round Bendigo but 25-55 minutes drive.
Closest of those to you is Cairn Curran which is just the Maryborough side of Maldon.
I also think Lake Learmonth is wet.
What about Lake Buloke?

Buloke should be filling up as we speak, but it's about 17k across and full of trees.
Lil lake bulloke has been full for about 3 weeks and looks sensational.
Grassy Lake is looking most promising and only 20 mins away and it's on the way home from work.
Very pleased with the recent downpours. just need the bridge to wash out and take tomorrow off to go exploring.
Might venture over your way one day during summer and catch up if you're around.
Are there many kiters in Bendigo?

A few but spread around, PM me your Mob number and I'll put you on the text list for where and when we will be going.
Probably Cairn Curran will be easiest for you.
Actually, anybody wishing some info like that should email us via
