I lived at Coomera from 1993 to 1996 and can tell u I saw more sharks on that stretch in that time than the other 25 years on the water put together.
Be careful.

The Coomera Lake? Is that the big rowing lake at Regatta Waters ?? If so I was thinking of trying that place out one of these days.

SupRookie - yes that is correct is is the one on the left near the boat ramp to the river. It has a big Watersports Complex on the edge of it.

There are permanent rowing lanes in there, however the Watersports Complex said that the lake is open to anyone's use, just no motorised watercraft are allowed in there except for model boats.

The only time motorised craft are allowed in there is if there is a rowing regatta. Council has advised that the Nippers are also using it for paddle boarding training - not sure when that is.

I went to investigate on the weekend as I saw the weekend prior that there was some sort of triathlon / swimming going on in there and wondered what it was.

If you are keen to go check it out, happy to meet you there and we can go together - safety in numbers - lol

Otherwise I plan to have a look at the Hinze Dam on the weekend.

was that in the lake or the coomera river?

It was the river.....no lake back then I don't think....actually, not even houses back then.....it was a back water with a cricket ground at Coomera and the only other places of note were the road to Mt Tambourine and Movie World and the water slides down the road.

How times change huh....the freeway was 2 lanes each way back then too....it's 4 each way now I believe !

Enjoy the NEW south east QLD.
