surfanimals said...Great stuff !
Thanks so much for sharing.
I can't wait to do the Yarra in a couple weeks when I'm down.
Can I have some advice ?
I'm staying in Collins St opposite Fed Square. Were would be the best place for me to go in - is there somewhere around Fed Square / Flinders St ?
And......would I head left toward Etihad Stadium / Tennis Centre or right past the restaurants and beyond for my paddle.
So, if anyone wants to do a paddle with me (DJ - we had discussed) on the mornings of Sat / Sun / Mon 20th - 22nd March - or Monday evening 22nd lemme know. It's be great to catch up.
A couple of things, if you're staying on Collins St, that's at least 2 blocks from Fed Sq, which is on the corner of Flinders and Swanston St. But if you can make your way to Fed Sq, you're in an ideal place for launching. Not sure about the availability of boat ramps on that side of the river but if you cross over the Princes Bridge right alongside Fed Sq, you come to the boat sheds and a massive boat ramp ideal for your purpose. It can be seen to the left in the photo below. Princes Bridge can be seen on the right and Fed Sq is further to the right out of picture.
Once you're on that boat ramp, heading left takes you around the city views and docklands to Etihad Stadium. Going to the right takes you to the Tennis Centre and MCG. The video I posted and Al's photos are in the city direction to the left.
I'm sure I could be persuaded to come out on a Sunday morning paddle, or a Monday (very early) or Monday evening.
