last weekend we drove past ski lake 30kms west of merredin twice. bothe days wind ws really stonking from north then west . the lake is oval 1.5x1km? and just off grt eastern hwy. a few low trees but nothing significant the depth would be 2m at the moment , probably slightly lesss saltier than seawater. noticable to me was the lack of waves. lake is chockers this year after a flood back in june, the lake floor is completely clean all the sticks and stumps have long been cleared ( ive walked on it when dry). there is a toilet block at the access. public access to the lake, long sandy shoreline all round
just wondered if you speed nuts would be interested in having a sail on it. those who carried all thier gear across lake walyungup a couple of years ago would find it alot easier. 300kms inland

Great suggestion, brings back memories.

i learnt to windsurf on the Menindee Lakes near Broken Hill. I was living on a station north of BH, so it was a 2hr drive to go for a sail on the weekend. But I was seriously obsessed back then and I would head off at the slightest whiff of a breeze (which actually had no relationship to conditions at the lake - quite irrational). more often than not i got skunked. I remember learning to sail my first shortboard there in winter. I was having trouble with the beach start and after 1/2 hr in knee deep water I came out and my legs were bright purple (not pink) up to my knees.

Sorry for the diversion. Someone should do this, it just isn't going to be me!

Just watch out for Ollie

Could be a nice stop for those travelling over to/ from the east

Looks like a nice place for a sail but I'm worried that you might be drinking too much Firie ....was that the last Coopers?
