Mate are you serious? My parents live on lake Eucumbene at Anglers Reach , that lake holds 9 times as much water as Sydney harbour. And is 600 ft deep in places, so your comment about a 20 m wide shallow lake is dogcrap. There is also a sailing club on lake Jindbyne so sailing happens there often . Don't think I would kite there without a dry suit even in Sumer the water is cold but if you look at some of the places people kite in Europe it is tame.
Mate you have no idea what your talking about so keep your "DOGCRAP" comment to yourself..
I really don't care how deep or how much water lake Jindabyne or eucumbene hold, I don't care how many days a week the guys at the local sailing club piss in their towns water supply and I certainly don't care where your parents live!!
The lakes you talk of are no where near the 4 alpine lakes this guy was heading towards, maybe do yourself a favour and google them lake cootapatanba, lake albina, club lake and blue lake (maybe even educate yourself for future posts trying to rite someone off).
After you've done some research you may realise How serious national parks are about preserving the alpine area and these 4 lakes!! Heck you can't even ride a push bike out there in summer and anything that doesn't have snowshoes,snowboard or ski's are banned in winter that's why it's such a privilege been able to kite it in the winter, a chute or run that would normally take a days walk is accessible in and hour..
I'm very very far from a greenie and agree that kiting in the alpine area in winter has a very small footprint if any but somebody trudging down to one of these 4 lakes in the middle of summer essecially on a weekend of one of Thredbos largest festivals could and will attract the attention of the wrong person and could ruin it for all of us that enjoy it in the winter..
If not you're just making yourself look like an even bigger douche with every post
