Adventures at Storm King Dam

By William Lister, Age 7

During the school holidays one of my favourite things to is going kayaking on Storm King Dam.

I have a blue kayak and Jeremy has a red kayak. We paddle very far out and we sometimes do picnics there.

And the last time we had a picnic the wind blew all of our food off the table.

Sometimes we go fishing but we never catch anything.

It’s very cold at the moment so we wear wetsuits and Mum makes us wear a life jacket and hat.

Usually I jump off the pier and even with the life jacket it is still freezing.

Next holidays I want to go kayaking at the beach with Grandpa who lives at Hervey Bay.

A long time ago when I was at the beach at Hervey Bay I caught a flathead but we let it go because it was only a baby so we couldn’t eat it.
