Sans Soci settling in for the night.
Setting off early was the recommendation since this would maximise the opportunity of there being reflections in the still water ahead of the arrival of a sea breeze. Our convoy of dinghies included, Deb and Steve from Stray Cats, Rachel and Scott from Gradiva and a 4 man team comprising Juliana and Hugh from Sans Souci and Susie and Paul from Supa Trooper. We took turns to take the lead to optimise everyone's chances of enjoying the reflections.
Leaving our boats behind.
Chevrons of swans clattered loudly.
The tallest hill on the right seemed miles away - and it was!
Most vegetation was low scrub but taller timbers did succeed in places.
The reflections got better and better.
It was so easy to loose perspective and feel unsure about which way was up.
The scenery was lovely.
The evidence of past bushfires caused by lightening strikes was noticeable.
Our early start ensured we had still conditions that maximizing the beautiful reflections on the water.
Eventually the waterway narrowed and we began to wind through the gorges.
After turning back, we let the current flush us out.

Our early start was well rewarded. We were already returning by the time the wind was chirping up and before other visitors tore up our view.
Our very first day in this wilderness area and after a 14km dinghy trip we were already gobsmacked and had fallen in love with this place.
