Photo / Shannon ThomsonSigns protesting about the state of Lake Dunstan were swiftly removed before cyclists, runners and walkers arrived. That right was in question for the group behind a short-lived floating protest on Lake Dunstan on Saturday. The protest was set up on the lake opposite Old Cromwell to coincide with the official public opening of the Lake Dunstan Cycling and Walking Trail. No sooner had cyclists set off from the Clyde end of the new trail, than efforts began to remove protest placards on pontoons placed on the lake by members of Save our Lake Dunstan (Sold).
