Friday 10 July 2026 Wallaga Lake

 Sadly, just us again today, taking advantage of a lovely winter's day. Launching from Payne's Island a tad after 10.00am 

Looking enticing in the distance, we had intended to head to the entrance first up

but once on the water we changed our mind and headed into the reed beds, where it was very quiet. Only two fish spotted and the odd bird. Turning round a little way beyond the foot bridge we explored other leads on the way back to the lake and were suprised to see we still had this section of Wallaga all to ourselves.

Having paddled along the eastern shoreline we stopped for morning tea, sheltered from the light, but chilly breeze at the end of the sand dune.

After morning tea we poddled slowly over the shallows to the still closed entrance before heading back to Payne's Island via Honeysuckle Island. A short and happy paddle ending at 12.30pm.
