Lake Somerset ( via Stanley Pocket Road )
« on: March 25, 2012, 08:22:29 PM »
When Google Earth can be your friend. Due to lack of options with access to Lake Somerset,I stumbled onto this little beauty .
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?ll=-27.074154,152.614244&spn=0.002469,0.004989&t=h&z=18

The council even mows the grass at the launch site




The dam when at 100% full backs right up next to the road on the hairpin bend. A very easy launch in a yak or canoe. And no gates or seqwater signs anywhere in the area, not even a fence to deal with, what a refreshing change. Should be a lot more of it.



The road is right next to the lake.

Some more of the scenery.



Camp Somerset's private facillities.

Saw this nice adult Carpet Python(Morelia spilota mcdowelli) having a bask on an overhanging branch.


Cheers,
Dave.

Good investigating mate.  :thumb

I backed one of my boats in there several years ago. All was ok, but had a note on the windscreen saying it was not a public launching spot. Will dig for info on status of land there..........

fitz..
