The old water race provides a great way to see the bigger picture.
A marvel of human endeavour / stupidity

Dancing, and the Landsborough River

So the last wee while has been a bit busy.... but hey everyones life is a bit busy ..
Even so we have been getting out boating, after the blissfest06 it is all about getting out, not organising other peoples boating.

In Labour weekend a posse got away into the Landsborough River.
The helicopter was due at the crack of midday, to allow folks to recover from the gig at the Hawea Flat community Hall Massef, (stoked reggae beats) LAdi6, DJ Parks, and Rikki Gooch. Awesome sounds. Cheers to Davie and Hugh for organising it.

Sunny days, new river Good crew to hang out with, good food all that stuff

Luckily with a 2 30pm get on at the top, we had a great flow so it only took 2 1/2 hours to get to the Hut..... Sweet


Great to be out in the wilderness, soaking up the quiet
