i don't know if this type of lake had ever did the burns before but hence why it's called suicide lake. nobody would do it till the owner did first!

Hi Blacky, Just wondering whether you can send a google earth placemark please. (hmm not sure how to do that myself, but you'll manage ) No I don't intend to have a jump, probably just a shortened course. Cheers,Peter.

If you search on google for "stones park, port macquarie, NSW" it will take you right to it. Its a sweet setup from the satellite images. Two lakes perpendicular to each other and what looks like a channel under the road to boat from one to the other if the wind shifts.

It's not my lake , but I do believe they die it. Alot of people do using aqua shade.

If you're still looking for a windbreak that grows fast and can handle poor soil, these are very popular in north carolina here in the US.

Hi, Just thought I would report in to let you know I haven't given up on my lake, just been waiting for a contractor and the right weather. 450m*100m*3.75m deep. The Carry buckets are cheaper than running my own scraper so the contractors get the work
