Day 32 - Seisa

A rest and restock was on order for today.  A bigger grocery shop, some fishing tackle restock and Charlie even got a wash!  Wanted to get some of the salt wash off him. He looks a little less like a cape car now.

Good sense of humour is all around this joint, these are the signs going into the men's and ladies loos

We made a quick stop to restock our fishing gear and picked up some bait fish gang hooks.  Six little hooks with no bait needed.  Around 4:30 we headed off and no sooner had we dropped the line into a ball of fish, Andi came up with one.  His first ever.  A little nervous because it was jiggling a lot but he did really well.

 Andi with his first fish!

They ended up catching five.  The hilarious bit was that was on the way to the wharf we were talking to another camper about his rig.  He mentioned that he would give the boys 20 cents for every bait fish they caught.  They were working out how much fish they needed to catch for $2 before we even started!  So every fish we pulled in Griff would shout "that's 60c, 80c, $1 dollar!  On return the boys were shocked when the kind gentlemen gave them 2 dollars each, the faces were priceless.  Andi walking back to camp said that he is going to control what he spends his money on and has opted for more barbies!

Just before we got to the wharf a guy pulled us over and said he had something to show the kids.  He pulled out an esky and Dad and Chris thought they were going to see a big fish.  This little baby was quite a surprise.  The guy had found it crawling up his leg whilst he was searching for old copper cable around the district.  He said it was quite sedate and was able to hold it.  (WARNING: Janine - you may want to skip this picture!) We all took a step back, Andi who isn't a fan of creepy crawlers at the best of times, opted for a safe spot on the other side of the road!  We will have be careful looking for firewood.

Reason you don't wonder to far in the bush

 Lovely sunset to finish the day
