The Author Enjoying Kyacking on the 11th April at Mindarie – The resort, restuarants & cafes are in the background. The photo care of my Wife taken from her kyak!

That’s me in the photo above taken last Saturday. Now, for all you folk currently living in cool places such as Alaska, I bet you wish you were in the photo! Sorry, I should not say things like that. Anyway, for any would be travellers to Perth, Western Australia, this photo will provide some idea as to the perfect Autumn weather you will enjoy if you choose to visit Perth  in April!

Today, the 14 th April,  the temperature was 28 c, light winds & a glorious calm Indian Ocean. The temptation was too great for my Wife & myself so we hitched up the trailer containing our two kyaks, paddles & life jackets, & drove the short distance from our home north of Mindarie Quays to our private little beach snuggled in amongst the enormous homes surrounding the Quays.

We launched our kyaks & paddled along the main arm of the Quays out into the open Indian Ocean. We only venture outside the Quays on days when the sea breeze is absent. Otherwise conditons outside the heads can be very rough & dangerous for even larger vessels, let alone a small kyak. During April & May the winds are largely absent.

We took our time inspecting the reefs which are clearly visible thanks to the perfectly clear salt water. Over the couple of years we have enjoyed kyaking around Mindarie Quays we have developed a “track” that provides plenty of excellent exercise & takes us around an hour or so to complete. Of course there is never any rush & we usually end up being out on the water for a couple of hours.

Anyway that’s how we enjoyed Tuesday morning the 14 th April, 2009. One thing Perth has plenty to offer is stacks of sunshine, beautiful crystal clear oceans, & hardly anyone around. Trust you include a visit to our favourite paddling arena one of these days.

Have fun!
