They’ve been a peak Canberra experience for decades, but the paddle boats on Lake Burley Griffin have finally paddled their last.
The National Capital Authority (NCA) has announced the boats have “reached the end of their operational life and have been discontinued”.
They’re one of those things that you don’t realise have disappeared from all the lakes until its pointed out to you. I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these beasts cruisin over the lakes where I live!
