It was calm and warm on Sunday afternoon, so a group of us headed down to nearby Casuarina Sands for a splash around. Casuarina Sands is a lovely reserve which has recently been upgraded to include a nice playground and lots of public barbecues. Each of us took bits and pieces of food/drink and we made a real collective feast.
The Murrumbidgee River meanders through the valley corridor, which ultimately leads through Canberra and Cooma. The river runs quite slowly through Casuarina and it's possible to float down on tubes from the top car park to the bottom one. It takes about 20 minutes and is quite shallow (and rocky in places) The water at the bottom car park gets deeper and has a swimming hole and a really great rope swing.
We spent a really sunny afternoon there. The rope swing was a big hit - stupidly I left my waterproof camera in the car so didn't get any shots in the water - but here's some other photos. Not bad for an Autumnal day
