Paddling on the Barmera Lakes











Actually Chambers Creek canoe trail.
We started from just past the bridge between Lake Bonney and Chambers Creek.
We had to push through a few reeds but it wasn't too bad.
The waterscape isn't beautiful but it is interesting.
There was lots of birds - swans, pelicans, ducks, cormorants, darters, parrots, galahs, corellas, pigeons, woodswallows, other swallows, egrets, kites, kestrels, and one spoonbill.
At one stage we were right next to the Sturt Highway and we could always hear the traffic.
Near Sugarloaf Hill we got out and climbed up, it's not very high, but gave us another perspective.
We managed to do a circular trail by using google maps as there are a lot of islands and it can be confusing.
Not sure of the distance but we paddled for a total of 4hours with 2 more stops for morning tea and lunch.
