Last day of the holidays - 7.4km

For our last day of holidays this summer a group of us went to the Moore River near Guilderton for a paddle. We had a mild (30 degrees C) sunny day with a fresh South Westerly breeze blowing, so rather than battle headwinds near the coast we opted to launch at the Barragoon Rd launching spot and head down river towards the coast. We stopped for picnic lunch (thanks Romana and Dave for your generous supplies of food and drinks!) at a sandy beach.
The Barragoon Rd launching spot is on a nicely forested section of the river.

There were interesting things to photograph - an eagle circling overhead, water birds, other river users. Mostly it took me too long to get my camera out of its waterproof case - most things had long gone by the time I was ready - except for this stationary log.
