Dear Rowers (and other lake users),
As of this morning (Saturday 13 October) West Basin and part of central Basin have large numbers of logs that have been flushed into the lake following the recent rain.
For fragile boats, like most rowing shells, this effectively closes these parts of the lake. The NCA has responded to the crisis and their contractor will start clearing the logs this afternoon.

We understand that the NCA will remove the logs from west to east stopping the front of flotsam from moving further west. As of this morning the front had reached the National Library. Logs will be removed to Grevillea Park. Crews that travel through to East Basin should be aware that work boats will be present cleaning up, and perhaps obstructing any crews training.

Hopefully the Association will not have to cancel the Panton Marathon next weekend.
