Do you know how many inland lakes are scattered around Western Australia. Now ive been doing a little bit of home work and these places get heaps of wind (easteries) all the time in winter, while the coast is well frustrating.

so who's up for a little weekend camping trip, who up for it weekend exploration, couple of 4wd's, vans, station wagons and heaps of two minute noodels.

How about the salt lakes on Roto. They taste just as good on any wind direction.

what about lake grace.....
classy joint that one.

i know of another lake called lake indoon near eneaba i use to sail there when i was a kid on surfcats. it is also popular for skiing it has a boat ramp and toilets and showers (they use to be cold)you can camp around a fair bit of the lake and there are some bbqs you would have to check with the local shire because i heard it had a algea problem a couple of years ago.

DEAD SET KEEN!!
Would love to know when you are looking at doing this, So I can organise the weekend off!

I believe the wind is Easterlies every morning. Fronts will change all this of course.

YEH LAKE INDOON IS NOT NEWS TO POLEBOARDERS.
HEAPS OF WAKEBOARDERS I KNOW GO THERE.
IT IS SEEDY WATER THO, DONT DRINK IT N THE BLUE GREEN ALGAE IS POSSIBLY STILL THERE.
I RANG UP ALL THE PLACES LAST YEAR ABOUT WHETHER IT IS SAFE AND THEY SED THEY DONT RECCOMEND SWIMMING IN IT BUT HEAPS DO.
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE STOMACH UPSETS, RASHES ETC.
THERE ARE HEAPS OF TREES IN THE WATER THAT POP UP IN PLACES TOO, I HAVE SEEN A FEW BOATS RIP THE BACK END OUT ON STUMPS.
BUT ON THE UPSIDE, THERE IS SUPER FLAT GLASSY WATER.

What about the Yarra Yarra salt lakes up near Three Springs/ Carnamah area 2.5 hours north of Perth. 35km long a couple of kms wide and usually a meter or two deep. I was thinking of driving down from Gero on a winter easterly one day and trying it out .The black mud may stink abit.I am still aching from the session a explosives on tuesday on a northerly waves outback and glassy flat over the reef.

Have to agree with you "buster". Why don't you guys/gals take a look at the last 72 hours of wind data for rotto www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW65027/IDW65027.94602.shtml The average wind speed is 16.5knts for the entire 72 hour period. Avg gust is 21knts. The place is going off and is only half an hour away!!!

Cause you wont be there butbuster
