In April Deb and I took Kylie back to the Gippsland Lakes. After all the work to get her sailing again, it was fantastic to be back at the Gippsland Lakes. We'd spent a lot of time racing and cruising Kylie at the Lakes back in the 1970s and 80s.
The weather was fantastic for our 5 day expedition. We had some lovely sailing and also managed to see lots of birds.
Day 1 was at Duck Arm
Late in the evening thousands of cormorants flew overhead from the wetlands to their roosting areas.
The next morning they flew back, but this time, only just above the water!
The pelicans were also a feature.
Then to Bunga Arm, a lovely sunset and a few more cormorants and pelicans!
Finally to Metung and Chinaman's Creek.
And a Nakeen Night-heron!
