LOST & FOUND

After being thwarted twice before due to false information, I finally laid eyes on the wreck of the side-wheeler SS Nipissing, discovered by Morwen, my kayaking companion. Ravaged and sunk by a fire in 1886, what could be salvaged was used to build its successor, the Nipissing II, a year later, and after retrofitting in 1924, the Segwun.

HIGH POINT

I visited the top end of Lake Joseph and even from Port Cockburn where I started out, could see this cottage. Perched at the top of cliffs and flying the Welsh flag, it resembles a modern day castle, with a deck projecting outwards like a bastion and the initials HP, from the name High Point, emblazoned like its own coat of arms.
