So finally after leaving Sydney 3 weeks ago we have crossed the border into Queensland - we were going to paddle, firstly at Lake Ainsworth, Lennox Head but of course, the weather, once again, this time it was not just the rain but the 30knot SE wind! Have you tried to set up a tarp in 20-30Knots!
This morning with yet more rain we headed to Brunswick Heads, also thinking of paddling there, but wind and rain put a stop to that, after having coffee with Louise and Beth. How is technology - last night I was on Facebook updating photos and noticed my nephew in the USA on also so I had a chat with him. He asked where were we and when I told him Lennox Head he said, Louise if there! (his partner is in Oz for a few weeks) what is her phone number? I called and gave Louise a surprise - she was staying just around the corner - so we all met this morning......Amazing.....!
We are not in Jacobs Well and tomorrow we plan to paddle around the mangroves. For non CCC members it is in the area between Southport and the south end of Morton Bay, a maze of winding channels through the mangroves. By boat one can go from Southport to Morton Bay either via Jacobs Well or up the Caniapa Passage - I went up the Caniapa when I was on Flamingo in 2001.
I am always amazed when coming around the corner at Coollongatta one can see Surfers across the water - driving through Surfers I am sure that the buildings are even taller than a few years ago. Still many cranes on top of half completed buildings to add to the view over the water.
Just realized that we are an hour behind so I need to go and get dinner..... more later
