Canoeing on the Lane Cove River

What a relaxing hour.  We drove down to the Lane Cove National Park and hired a canoe for Sha's dad and myself.  We left Sha and her mum on the bank!   As soon as we'd passed the first corner then we had the whole river to ourselves (apart from a large number of lizards, birds, and things that went splash).  The water was perfectly calm and we could glide up to ducks, herons, moorhens, cormorants, darters and water dragons.   Our conversation was limited to saying "big duck" and "fish, is it?" and so most of the time we just silently paddled up the river.



Then we came home and played Donkey Kong which is not very peaceful.


Sha and her parents ambled around taking a million photos
of this Kookaburra
