google earth it, it looks great, has anyone been here? I want to see if it's worth checking out.

If this is some secret spot locals want kept quiet, pm me and I'll remove the post.

okay, now trying to keep spot quiet, co-ordinates removed sorry

BEEN THERE when i was a kid.
Yeh mission to get there but flat water and always windy there if ya want it.
Good luck at Lucky Bay...

Also been there when i wasn't kiting. I spent 2 years travelling around AUS before i started kiting. I only wish had a kite with me as there are so many amazing spots for kiting Lucky Bay would have been amazing, plenty of wind and flat water. Would highly recomend it if you've got a 4X4.

sweet, looks like I will be checking it out then. strongbow, would be great to hear you thoughts after youv'e checked it out.

Now that looks shweet.......was it shallow?

Caution was spot on, it's Lucky Bay.

Great spot, relatively easy to get to. The sand is pretty hungry by the middle of summer but I managed to drag my 5m tinny in with my Navara so it can't be that bad.

It's only a bit over an hour north of Gero and because it's such a nice spot don't bother going there at easter because you won't get a camping spot.

I've kited there, as you can tell from Google Earth it's only 200m across and with the howling southerlys you get you can cross that pretty quickly. The water drops off pretty quickly, probably 6ft deep for the most part within 5m of shore, drops down to 4-5m deep in the middle and comes up again as you get close to the reef.

But yeah, nice flat water when its blowing, good fishing outside the reef for mackies as well as your bottom stuff when there's no wind and all in all a great little camping spot if you can shelter behind a dune when the winds up.

Oh yeah...stay away! It's my spot!

Was sure I had some images, just took a while to track them down.
Anyway's don't get too excited people, as you can see she is pretty tight
Up towards the nort end. 3/4 away along the lagoon from what I can remeber
And the very north end, you can walk out on the reef on the low tide for ages.

2nd pic the reef (note pajero in the distance for some idea of scale)

Make 1 windsurfer v kitesurfer post and watch 3 x top hat vids and ye shall be forgiven

Hey tightlines did you go past the shacks coming in that way
From what I remember we came in from the south past the shacks and there wasn't much dune action to negotiate. Was a few years ago now though.
