queensland Kurwongbah Kayakers

[Nog]

To the two guys kayaking this morning. I hope you got off the dam before 9am, because where you parked your ute would have left very little room for the ski boats to get through. There's a spot to park on the other side of the road. I'm not going to get into an argument about the current legalities about Lake K and kayaks, but this won't help our cause on opening up the dam for such watercraft.

Rant over

PS. Five out of five donuts, and I saw fish smashing the surface

Hey mate,

Funny you should put this post up.

We do a bit of bank fishing at Kurwongbah and recently there has been a heap of kayaks in there. There was a guy with a canoe with a little petrol outboard on it a few weeks ago,

Some of these guys park their cars in the car park at the Mick Hanfling park.

I didnt think you were allowed to put Kayaks or canoes in their?

Cheers

You're not, only the skiers and rowers are allowed on the lake atm, these few are only harming it for the rest that would like to see the lake opened up to paddle powered craft.

[Dubbzy]

what are the chances of the lake being opened up to paddle craft? is there a process underway?

[Dinodadog]

Yes its called the recreational policy, we have been waiting for it for 3 years.

Your being generous Dino, I reckon its been a lot longer than that!

From SEQ Water "We can advise that the recreation review process for Lake Kurwongbah will commence in July 2013, and be completed in late 2013"

oh so now instead of releasing the report, they have now announced they will start doing it?

Feel a bit sorry for them, no matter what the result there is going to be a lot of screaming, to many vested interests

Doesnt worry the people that own land that backs onto the lake, they blatantly leave thier kayaks and boats on thier back lawns in plane view,I have seen them on the lake fishing from small tinnies with outboards.
