A she-oak needle landed softly on my face, bringing me back from a waking dream. Looking around it seemed that my companions too were busy with pursuits, the likes of which are usually reserved for balmy Sunday afternoons. One lay pinned down by the weight of a book, whilst the other I could see strolling at the waters edge looking slightly groggy with wonderment at the landscape.
Thanks Break Loose for the opportunity for this novice canoeist and her friend to spend two days as guests of the refreshingly genuine Sharon and Stephen Ross, owners of Clarence River Wilderness Lodge.
There’s a rule that applies to adventure experiences in Tasmania - what you get is not always what you expect, whether it is the wildlife or the people.
The paddle from our launching site at Yokohama Bay to Kaena Point, where we usually turn around and start the return leg, is about two hours. On this day the waters were calm, the sun was hot, and the fish weren’t biting in the least. It was the kind of day that one gets lulled to the brink of sleep due to a complete lack of activity combined with the kayak’s gentle roll from side to side with each stroke of the paddle.
