The boats do look like fun but I won't be paddling one. I'm happy to be a passenger if someone else does the paddling though.<br /><br />Marie; you're back! I missed you. Glad you got the problem sorted. The Torrens is looking a LOT different now. There's new stuff being constructed....<br /><br />Gillie; paddling around would be very relaxing I think, as long as someone else was doing the paddling work.

It quite brings a tear to my eye. <br /><br />I've really missed commenting here, but I've been "locked out" of commenting so many Blogger blogs that I quite gave up. But my clever son figured out the problem (to do with my Firefox settings of all things! Why do computers have to be so darn complicated?) so I'm hoping this one works.

A new football ground is being constructed across the river where the cricket oval used to be. Footy spectators get noisy...<br /><br />Elephant's Child; I think swan boats would be very pretty, you'll have to post some photos. <br /><br />Joanne; I've never actually paddled a boat, hubby took the two older kids out when they were small, but I was stuck on the bank with the baby in her pram. <br /><br />Susan Kane; probably you'd do better than me. I'm not game enough to even try now, my legs ache enough just from walking too far.<br /><br />Andrew; watching is better than paddling for us oldies. The river there is actually a man-made lake. The original Torrens was a smallish stream and this section was dredged out and expanded many years ago. <br /><br />Letting the Words Escape; for me they're more fun to watch, I don't think I could paddle one. <br /><br />sleepydwarf; I like the Popeye trips too, all the way to the zoo and back.
