Lat weekend we went out hunting for lakes to canoe on . there had been good ran down at Lefroy and we're washed out down there. so we headed north in the hope of a paddle.
first stop was "King of the West". Ive sailed hobies here, but it hasnt flooded since 2000. Id heard that Kite buggiers have been sailing here , but whenever Ive stopped by the lake has had a typical spongy surface that many of our half salty lakes have when they dry out.
This time the recent rain has compacted the surface layer before drying out and its plenty smooth and hard for sailing on. we hope to get out in the next week or two for a sail. The Lake is3km x1.5 with only a few rocky outcrops and a smattering of samphire bushes .like this
finally found the good canoeing at Rowles Lagoon(too many flies) and at The Gap ,Coolgardie( the locals sat and watched us pick up all the rubbish)
