Cape Keraudren (3 nights)

Another fantastic spot, we are about 20m from the sea at high tide, which makes it interesting for light sleepers like me when the tide is high at about midnight! There are several camping areas in the nature reserve managed by the local council (called a SHIRE, very middle earth).  Campfires are permitted so we have been using the camp oven again.  My olive damper bread was a hit with the neighbours each side of us last night, one had helped Leon get his rod set up for the whiting fish and the other had helped Enzo spot the big shells in the rocks at low tide.

Leon has a new rod so I get his old one and tried my luck off the beach but it was Leon who caught his first fish today enough for his lunch. He was very happy!  Meanwhile John and Enzo went swimming in the mangroves looking for turtles, no luck today.

There is a hardcase golf course here on the dry mudflats, you use plastic bottle tops as a tee and the holes are about 100mm diameter!  You just borrow one of the clubs and a ball and go for it.  Spotted some flocks of brolgas (a stately long-legged crane with a scarlet on rear of head), they are lovely creatures.

Leons first catch!
