St Georges Basin
From Lyndon Rea "Gypsy Caterpillar" T2541
We live approx. 100 Kilometers south of Sydney NSW
on the Shoalhaven River near Nowra. It is salt water
and quite navigable for about 30 Kilometers in our boat
when it then becomes a bit narrow and unsuitable for
sail but still OK under outboard.
We also sail at St Georges Basin a large lake which
accesses the Pacific Ocean. The Basin is about 40 Kilometers
south. Whenever we go there we usually stay on board
for a couple of days. Our sailing season generally runs
from September to end of May but because of our mild
Winters you can sail all year round if you can spare
the time! I have attempted to scan three photos taken
on a Farr 6000 camp we enjoyed at the Basin last Summer.
There were seven Farr 6000s and a couple of 16' Princess.
Our boat, 'Gypsy Caterpillar' is blue and is second
blue boat in the photos.
Sydney Area
From Vicki and Phill Cunningham, Farr 6000 "TIVAMP"
The first photo was taken at the Basin at Pittwater
in January 2000. Our four children are preparing to
jump off and go for a swim. The other three photos were
taken on Fitzroy Falls Dam where we are members of the
Southern Highlands Sailing Club. One photo was taken
on a misty Sunday, conditions which are not unusual
in this part of the world!
Fitzroy Falls Dam is in the Southern Highlands near
Bowral which is about 100 km south of Sydney. We sail
there in the summer months (its is too cold in the winter!)
and experience all types of conditions which often inspires
us to comment, with apologies to Crowded House, Four
Seasons in One Day!
