Kayaking Chipping Norton Lake and Georges River

Started out at Grand Flaneur Beach on Chipping Norton Lakes and then paddled down to Newbridge Rd and return.

Floyd Bay was interesting I didn't relise that sea planes are in the area and saw one flying overhead I though it was going to land but it kept flying over head. That was cool seeing the sea plane. Heaps of planes flying overhead heading in and out of Bankstown airport.

I found lots of rubbish floating in the water. Car tires, wooden logs and lots and lots of plastic. Not really a place you can go swimming in and the "Shark siting" signs on the shore ensures I stay in my kayak.

The water is a murky green visibility less then 1 meter.

It's a nice river but the pollution in the river makes the river not that pleasant to paddle in.

I've been on the Lake a few time. Its good for a paddle but I wouldn't be going swimming here.

I see lots of fishermen catching fish here but seeing all the rubbish I don't think the fish would be good eating.
