Day 84 - 80 Mile Beach

This place is awesome, green grass, blue sky, huge camp site, no wind just a gentle breeze, beautiful turquoise water, heaps of fishing, stunning sunsets....what more could you ask for?

The only and I mean only down side is I can't swim due to sharks :( but everything else makes up for it.

Wayne has done his research so we headed out two hours before the high tide ready to catch some Salmon or maybe a Mullaway. Found a couple of gutters yesterday to try out, off we went up the beach.

Tried Pilchards on the 2 beach rods, soft plastic and a Flasher lure on the luring rod, one hit for the 3 hours of trying. Never mind tomorrow is another day. Spoke to another fisherman and he didn't catch a fish either.

We were talking about heading back to camp and a car got stuck in the soft sand, so we gave him a tow....twice to get him going again. There were a couple of guys there ready to help but the 200 did it easily.

Relaxing afternoon reading, I was going to clean the Van and wash the towels but my book was calling me.

We went down for the Sunset again at 5.30, just as good as yesterday and just as many people, still amazed at how far the tide goes out here. Nice way to finish the day, so peaceful.Read more
