A similar perspective of Lake Geneva, and the last pic I got a chance to take.
Lucky boy, Lake Geneva (and Lac Lucerne) are high on my list of the most stunning places I have been. Not quite sure the You Yangs are as impressive as the Alps, but if you squint the clouds can look like mountains.
Beautiful places.
I was really surprised at the water quality. Crystal clear. Not a drop of pollution in sight. The Lake was alive with life.
And it made my hair go all fluffy and soft, like it does when I shampoo and condition it...which is never because then it goes all fluffy and soft...
Lake McKenzie on Fraser is stunning, but not much in the way of aquatic life. Way too alkaline I believe.
Love Fraser. Eli Creek another place with the clearest of clear water.
Totally agree about Lake Geneva and Geneva; truely beautiful.
Photos Zen?
A big sky day at Mangawhai Heads, North Island NZ (don't get me to pronounce that place name anywhere near correctly :) ).
Wow super clear and clean GSCO. Cracker. I've got some images from a recent trip to Tassie to get up. One of my fav places.
What sort of fish in Lake Geneva GSCO, and is fishing allowed?

Sorry Guy, dunno how to take images from the net and I don't have any pics in my phone.
Lake McKenzie, Fraser is.
FR yes fishing is a thing there, can find quite a few websites on it: 1, 2, 3, 4. Looks like Trout and Salmon fishing is popular. The guys I worked with kept joking around and showing me pics of this largish Catfish looking thing that they said would nip people, but I only got chased by the Swans on the Lake, which borderline on being a pest.
Regarding beautiful places, my favourite will always be my random spot along Kawana:
And here I go again...even though the topic of China is on the nose, I always wanted to share some pics on Swellnet of where I used to go there, seems like a long time ago now:
It was surprisingly nice there. Water was very clean too.
Actually no...my little secret spot I never saw another Westerner at.
That was a couple of days after the island opened up after the Covid lockdown. Had it to ourselves. It’s usually crawling with people
great pics! here's a dodgy iphone pic of a fly fisher in FNQ stalking his prey. got the full praying mantis vibe from his posture
Out and about in the clear water capital of the world. Not as clear as Lake Mackenzie, but close.

Is that the trail of the fish coming for the fly
no i think it was the fly and line he was stripping across the surface. there were fish popping that he was casting to. tarpon, trevally and blue salmon
Stunning Gary, can pick a lot of those locations, special place!
yeah, awesome shots Garyg. I hear you on the 'clearwater capital'. I feel privileged to have spent good time in that area, and to have scored some amazing surfs there, one not too different to that 'babyfood peak' FR refers to
Cheers Zen. No filters, last gasp of the light,. Colours are spot on. Mobile phone magic.
Awesome. That’s the short moment in time in an isolated spot that really makes me feel alive and appreciative and in wonder of the earth and our existence in our tiny place in the universe. Humbling. If that makes sense.
I'm with you 100% seeds. You can even grab those moments close to home, walking the dogs. Always a buzz.
Yes, beautiful shot.
And I haven't the faintest idea where it is - which makes it even better :-)
In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.
