Fitzroy River Weir

Well this place is just magic!!! We rolled in here for a look and went wow! This is nice, let's stay here. It is an old weir and irrigation system that is no longer in use. The floods levels during the wet seasons were too destructive and rendered everything useless. See the photo of the building where I have marked the flood level of 1986. Umm that's a lot of water covering this whole area!

Dave and Tristan started fishing straight away and over the course of the day pulled in dozens of Barramundi, too bad they were all undersized and released except one that just measured up. Barramundi for dinner.

There is a lot of freshwater crocs basking on the banks of the river, considered harmless unless cornered. They certainly appear timid and move into the water quickly when they sense someone nearby.Read more
