Has
anyone thought of the money this could bring for conservation work around
the billabongs where Jerra ck comes into the Molonglo? I'm sure in this
environmentally conscious day and age that the skiers would love to get
onside. Let them have their cake and make them give us one
too!
I
would've loved to see that area before lake burley was made. It's pretty
good now but as ephemeral as opposed to permeant wetlands/billabongs it must've
been amazing!
lets not forget water quality

Waterskiing on Lake Burley Griffin
Anthony
Tuesday, 11 October
2005
Allowing
waterskiing and the use of small outboard powered vessels on lake Burley Griffin
will revitalise the lake. Now it is just a dirty, smelly (in summer) green,
algal infested waterhole. Has anyone even looked at the advantages that
powerboats would have to the lakes water quality; the use of powerboats would
help aerate, and circulate an otherwise stagnant body of water.
As usual the
Yachties and rowers are winging, the lake is not only for their use, people in
Canberra do have other activities that they are interested in. How many cars
with ski and fishing boats do you see on the road come Friday night all heading
away from Canberra to fulfil their maritime interests. The Kingston foreshore
development has a marina, with berths for what? Your paddleboat!!
I feel
that people in Canberra need to open their eyes and allow everyone to utilise
our facilities to their full
extent.
