We had great fun up around Exmouth WA, this year, swimming with the turtles was an amazing experience, on the Ningaloo Reef.

With teamashy staying with us for a week after Christmas and it being in a heatwave, we were trying to find ways for 3 yr old geoniece to have fun but be cool. We bought a $10 inflatable pool from woolies and set it up in the backyard in the shade. Also had a bubble blower going nearby and filled up a couple of bunches of water-bomb-balloons. Obviously a water-fun day was had by all!

A while ago we had a camping trip away and the kids got to play in the nearby lake . It was hot so the chance to splash in the water was well received

Up here in the goldfields the lakes don't flood often, so when they do there is fun to be had.
This place is called Red Lakes.

Swimming in the South Esk River at Perth in Tasmania is popular during the summer months. This is us last summer.

White Water World on the Gold Coast Qld attached to dreamworld. Separate entrances. There is a wave pool here and companies on the gold Coast who teach young children to surf use this pool for three hours to teach the basics then they go down to the ocean for more intense real wave training. Geo Grandson enjoying himself.

Paddle Boarding is lots of fun ... spotted off the beach in Darwin recently... Thanks corunnaroad for this locationless

On a holiday trip, we stopped off for a night beside the creek, and the first thing the boss-lady did was go and relax in the running water. As she was having fun at the time, I assume this qualifies for the cache.

Looks fun but watch for crocs.

The photo added to the Gallery some locals and visitors enjoying the Cairns Lagoon, a clear pool on the mud and mangrove shore of the Coral Sea. The photo was taken during a visit to North Queensland a few years ago.

Dragonboating - another fun water activity. This team was spotted at Cullen Bay in Darwin. Thanks corunnaroad for this locationless

One of our caches near the Burnie Yacht Club had had a DNF recently so went to check on it and while we were there we spotted a jetski just off the shore. He looked like he was having a great time on a lovely afternoon. TFTL

Fishing - a great pass time in the NT ... Thanks corunnaroad for this locationless...

On a recent trip to the Northern Territory we took a break from the heat and humidity and had a swim in a couple of the waterfall plunge pools. This particular photo is of me at Wangi Falls our second dip. Apparently a crocodile had been removed from here about a month earlier (glad we didn't know that at the time!) and I was suspicious about the nice white sand that lined the central section of pool, joking at the time that it was to make it easier to spot crocs...

You'll know this one corunnaroad....

One a work trip to the top end (Katherine) we headed off on a day off for some downtime at Mataranka Springs. A great spot I'd been to before, but it was first for a few of the guys.

Thanks for the fun (and the memories) of the locationless.

Hi corunnaroad
Red tag and I went for a joint FTF on a cache called 'Deman's Treasure' out of Port Arthur on a skijet. She was determined when we got back to tip me off the waterised motorbike but I will let the logs for that cache tell the story; photos as well.

Hi Crustydemons, Great adventure to get this cache. Both OldSaint and red tag got this one together and are claiming an FTF together. Thankyou!!! Red tag had the jet ski and we boarded, arrived and searched together, signing the cache at 1604hrs. For both of us, it was first time to Stinky Bay so thanks again. Got up to about 58-60mph on the way back. Then she wanted to take me for a joy ride and right in front of Annie we both came off!!! Wet, wet, wet!!! First swim in some time. Found out she can't swim (poetic licence taken) and had to drag her out!! Thanks red tag for the ride and the fun. See associated photos. TFTC and cheers OldSaint.
Found it

I couldn’t let this cache sit there ‘unfound’ any longer!
So this morning I messaged OldSaint to see if he and Annie were game enough to be my crew and luckily they were. Big Grin
I hooked on the jetski and picked them up on the way past.
At the boat ramp the conditions were perfect for boating and OldSaint and I farewelled Annie and set off for Stinky Bay.
OldSaint had never been on a jetski before and was somewhat nervous and tried to convince me the cache was in the bay I was sailing past but I think the nerves were affecting his navigational skills. Razz
We soon rounded the next headland and were in Stinky Bay. It’s a gorgeous place and not surprisingly there was another boat moored there but they were well out of our way.
We cut the engine and drifted into the pristine beach. I wasn’t content to leave the jetski on the beach so I attached the tow rope and walked it like a dog up the little canal. The water was soooo warm and inviting but we had a cache to find.... and find it we did. Big Grin
Brilliant little spot crustydemons!. Happy sharing the FTF with OldSaint as it was a team effort!
The trip back to the boat ramp was way more fun as OldSaint had really got the hang of it and we were back with Annie in just a few minutes.
Once back at the boat ramp I had that mischievous side of me raise its ugly head Twisted(I struggle to be responsible for more than half an hour at a time) and I asked OldSaint did he want to have a quicker spin around the bay - my older sons have dunked me on numerous occasions so I figured I could do that to OldSaint, but the bugger took me with him and in the drink we BOTH went - fully clothed!. Annie laughed hysterically and we ended up tying the jetski to the jetty and spending the rest of the afternoon swimming in the bay.
Icecreams on the way home topped off a great afternoon.
Thanks crustydemons for the cache and thanks Rob and Annie for a great afternoon. Big Grin

and just for the record I CAN SWIM!! just not as good as OldSaint ..but then I wasnt a Phys Ed teacher Razz and I didnt realise you cant drown someone when they are wearing a life jacket Red Face"

Thanks corunnaroad for the great memory
