 Solo mirage vs tandem paddle tug of war. Mirage wins I was fortunate enough to get a chance to send a few days in Perth last week and although I was there for work, part of that work involved paddling around on the Swan river. Luckily enough the weather really turned it on for us to, perfectly suited to kayaking. We were there to introduce the range of Hobie kayaks to staff of Rangers Outdoors stores, who are newly recruited Hobie kayak dealers. The range was met with a lot of enthusiasm and I think the staff were really thankful they were able to try out the kayaks as a part of their sales training. Quite a few of them were anglers to, including a few kayak fishermen, all of them suitably impressed.  Swan river is a great river for paddle sports Perth really is a nice city and I think if I had to live in one of Australia's capital cities, it would be there. It looks to me to be a great spot for kayak fishing and from all reports from Rangers staff, it is. My only concern about living in a place like that is the price of some commodities. Surprisingly, fuel appeared to be cheaper than here on the east coast. But bottled drinking water on the other hand... well, they say a picture paints a thousand words:  $8.20 for a bottle of hotel room water... $8.20!
