Kangaroos and Kayaks



On our rest day we headed off with John and Scott, a comedy father and son duo over here from Canada, to go kayaking. The first place we went to get boats was a lake in the middle of nowhere and felt really weird. You could almost hear the banjos playing and pig f*ckers ready to kill us ‘outta towners’ for no reason what so ever. Luckily a group decision meant we were out of there.
Before we left though we thought we’d get close up and personal with the kangaroos which were kicking around. When I got too close trying to get a snap they stood tall and put up their dukes. Well one did and the other in bad boy style grabbed his crotch. It was pretty funny. All they needed was a pair of boxing gloves and the cartoon would have been complete. Well apart from me getting a right hook of course!
We went back to town and paddled near Noosa on the estuary. It was a great time and we saw a huge great ray that casually swam below our boat. It was a great way to see town from a different perspective and follow part of the swim course we’d raced round at the start of our time here in Noosa. Big thanks to John and Scott for driving us around for the day, keeping us entertained and all the lifts home from the pool. Cheers guys. See you in BC next summer.
