A breezy day being forecast we decided to paddle the Pambula and Yowaka Rivers so that other than the crossing of Pambula Lake we would be mostly sheltered from the wind. With high tide at the entrance at 10.18am (Tea Tree Point 11.28am) we planned to be on the water by no later than 9.30.
All went according to plan and after leaving a car up the Yowaka River we met up at the Pambula River Mouth and were launching on calm water at 9.25.
We mooched up the beautiful Pambula River and once round the first bend we paddled on the inside of the oyster beds where the water was calmer. With a 1.7m tide we could take the short route across the lake and in hour we had reached the confluence of the Yowaka and Pambula Rivers.
After a 30min stop for morning tea we headed up the the Yowaka as far as possible and there we stopped for lunch on a little pebble beach overlooking a pool of crystal clear water.
Eventually we lost the shade and the hot sun induced us to pack up and get back on the water.
