Up the creek with a paddle

Come with me on a trip, we could spend the day inside or like people u will see in a little bit fishing in the river, but strap in and I'll even do the work for you.
Come bob on in, well actually were off to Bobbin Head. up the Hawkesbury/Nepean river, a little piece of a national park.
The birds are chirping and tweeting, there is a tranquility to our day, just lots of natural sounds and splashes in the water as we paddle up a little river.
We will encounter lots of different species, even a spider sunning itself on a rock



The fish are plentiful, as we paddle or lazily flat along, the water changes from deep enough not to see the bottom, to very shallow in parts, where we just scrape the kayak in the sand if we don't go in the right channels.


The rocks are stunning, with alot of different colours and textures, we do some exploring and decide to climb up and have a look around, the little crabs soon scatter as they see us coming towards them, they are red in colour, but so small and scittish, you cant get a shot of them.

Bobbin Head has a few boats moored there, one day, we like to dream that we will have a flash boat as well, but then we could't head up the little inlet as it's not for motored vessels.
It's a popular spot for Easter Saturday, families are strolling along and talking, kids are playing or riding bikes and there are alot of people wetting a line, trying to catch something worth keeping.
