Well we are as 'outback' as you can be but having said that there are a lot of boat trailers (29 parked at the crossing) but you hardly see a boat so we wondered where they all were...apparently a lot head right up the river and camp. Kev was the 'king' today as he was the first to pull one in but alas it was not quite big enough so had to be let go. Pete was next with the lucky catch of the day....it was absolutely superb enjoyed by us all served with mango salsa made with mango from the local mango farm up the road....who would have thought there would be a mango farm out here. The mango trees were planted around 1915 and are massive but the owners have planted new trees which they harvest.....interesting story we were told by the lady who showed us around, learning of life living with the 'wet' season and its impact on life. They are completely cut off by road for most of the 'wet' and to see the evidence of the level of the river at that time would be awe inspiring. We are all determined to improve on today's catch so another early start in the morning.
What a catch for Pete. I can almost taste it, and I bought some today at Woolworths. Bet it won't have the flavour of yours though. Sounds like the challenge is on for the biggest hey. Bring it on. Luv Judy xxx
