Monday 18 February Kayaking, Smiths Creek

Smith's Creek
The mooring ball we are on is in the last deep water of the creek, from here upstream the depth is under 1m and frequently down to half a metre; a perfect trip to make in the kayak! Our bright pink kayak has carried us up many shallow rivers and onto rocky beaches where the dinghy can't reach. We also like the silence of paddling, no engine pollution to scare the wildlife. I think we must have made it a mile upstream in continually narrowing channel and shallow water. On the bank we saw a large lizard – better than a large crocodile which is the prospect should we be mad enough to do the same in northern Queensland (I'm sure I'm sane so I'm not canoeing anywhere with the slightest chance of a croc).
