where are you talking about . I am heading back out to see a client next week and will take my gear and check this lake out again . It's a ski lake just out of kellerberrin ..

Kited it and it is great in all wind directions.

Surely that would be gusty as hell, muddy and bound to upset the locals? Better off spending the day across the road on the water slides

Yeh that looks awesome. I'm talking about one around perth area or more south of the river? Where is kellerberrin? Or might be a really silly question but what about bibra lake or some of the ones in Cockburn area?

I think u might find Bibra is protected, birds n stuff, bit of a mud pit anyway.

Dunno Dusta, did you go up to it and check it out? The shoreline was 25m from the bank last time I went, full of crusty salt. Maybe I'm soft.
Inbox me next time your in the wheatbelt and we can check it out together. I'm still a beginner but am keen for some company when I go. I'm usually out in the wheatbelt Mon-Wed and sometimes Thurs. Free in the arvos

What about lake richmond in rockinham? looks ideal. drove past it yesterday on the way to safety bay.

2 endangered protected species (thrombolites etc) and no space to launch anyway, maybe leaving it alone and driving 2 minutes to the beach?

Been a bit of rain lately. Might be ok,

lol was there 10am this morning. no good


i would say prob water has receeded in areas by 50m. i've not driven around the right side of the lake , are there any good launch spots around that way ?

so do you just reverse the car down the boat ramp or go further round and tether ?


this is how low the lake is atm

No, just before the boat ramp is a track off to the right that goes past the shade shelters. If I'm at the boat ramp trying to tether I just use one of the posts of poles already there.

Previous trips there has seen the water levels much, much higher and there has been no need to go onto the lake-bed itself. Last time I was there I did drive over the lake bed but then had to spend over half an hour the next day hosing the salt off the bottom of my Patrol so I'm not doing that again.

This is definitely the lowest I've seen the lake for about 3 years.

Hi turbulent, my reply was sort of referring to the same but instead I got red thumbed. No worries glad someone else answered as well

Fair enough.

If anyone is looking at heading out that way, flick me a pm as I live not too far from there.

Where? Lake Richmond or Baandee?
