• Fishing 🎣 & a hike

    Aug 9–13, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Catching the tide we head north to DECEPTION BAY. Great anchorage with lots to explore (with 🎣 ) over 3 days we traversed bays. beaches & creeks. Finally 🐟 success with us landing cod & mangrove jack...upgrade to menu 👍 which has been Travely many ways 🤣. Seems like fish are hungriest on incoming tide?? Next stop SAMPSON INLET a sweet ⚓️ near pearl farm infrastructure, tucked away & surrounded by lush cliffs. I caught a bluefin tuna on way in so with plenty fish we took day off to hike nearby gorge. The fresh water pools/ falls were stunning but i admit this one wrecked me...midday heat, rolly cliff rocks, swampy walk, a sml fall & constant 🐊 watch. With an early night, a couple of pain killers & beach next day... I totally fixed 😀 . We have so much to see before eta Darwin late Sep/early Oct 🤯 so need to get our wriggle on.... or just stay forever 🤣Read more
