It was a beautiful day so we took the boat out to explore the lake.
There was a lot of area still with trees, the water was 2o metres deep and a lot of the trees were another 5 metres above the water, that is without their leaves, tbey must have been huge trees before the area was flooded.
We made our way up into a lot of the little bay areas to search for wildlife, lots of birds but nothing else.
The peace and quiet up the far end of the lake was a stark difference to down around the launch ramp, lots of water skiers, jet skis and just power boats.
There was one little bay we really liked so we had our picnic lunch there.
When we were on our way back we went up the area that we had been up inthe canoes, we were hoping to see the tree kangaroo again as I had my camera this time, once again no luck but we did find a huge barramundi, it was still alive but dying, Merv hooked it with the gaff so I could take a photo, he said to tell everybody that I had caught it.
The barramundi was one that had been caught and released but suffered too much stress, there is no way I would take it to eat, it was not healthy.
The people at the caravan park said one had washed in at the ramp last year, someone found it, cleaned it and gave it away to all the unsuspecting campers in the park, not nice.
