Day 76 - Quobba Station

Two days in a row waking up to Blue Sky, we hope the trend continues. Off to the fishing spot we discovered yesterday, next to the Mine entry. The young guy we spoke to yesterday was just packing up his camp, he didn't catch any fish but saw heaps of bait.

Down the steep hill we went, only slightly concerned about the long hike back up later. The Ocean was deep blue, no wind (was blowing off shore) and no crashing waves on the rock ledges.

Looking across to the Mine, there are pontoons, I thought they looked like cars on floats, Wayne thinks I have lost the plot. 🤣

Again, Wayne fished while I watched the Whales. There was a pod of 6 whales, and I counted one Tail Slappping 8 times in a row, I've never seen it before. Wayne ended up with a huge Dart, the biggest he has seen and a Spangled Emperor, both keepers. Fresh fish for dinner....yum

Fed a few Seagulls with the remains of the filleted fish. They were happy. Then the trek up the hill, I forgot to take a photo of how steep it was, probably because I was too busy trying to breathe. No heart attacks so we live for another day.

Back to camp, I collected my dry washing from the line and cleaned up fishing gear, silly Wayne laid down and, of course, went to sleep. I may have also but I read my book instead of a Nana Nap.

Out to the lighthouse to watch sunset today, a bit of a crowd up there. It was a pretty sunset, still not a cloud in the sky. We discovered another camping ground to the south of Blow Holes while we were up there.

Went for a drive and discovered a Council Camp for $10 per person, no showers, but had some toilets. It was almost full to overflowing, but right on the beach, I think it's called the Lagoon. Have to remember if we ever get back over this way.Baca lagi
