Fun in the sun on the lake

Kaelyn Pilgrim (12, left), of Heriot, and Emma Gardner (16), of Cromwell, leap off a new pontoon at Lowburn, near Cromwell.

Lake Dunstan Harbourmaster Shayne Hitchcock said it was installed last week, but there had been few nice days since then when it could be enjoyed.

"It’s been one of the poorer seasons, so it’s good to see people getting out there."

The installation of the pontoon was part of the Central Otago District Council’s programme to improve recreation facilities around the lake, he said.
