Our 4th visit to Geues, Mullaway fishing, or any thing 'BIG' besides Port Jackson's or Stingrays!
Entry sign to Coombra Track - 34k's to our camp site, 2 hours and 10 minutes a record as we only had one tree to prune.
Soon on the beach and landing not so big fish on rather large hook's, Yah! gota be good!
The sun's out, but it's chilly!
Prepared for the evening fishing!
Small Mullaway - released
Good size salmon = bait!
Sue's 1st fish, an undersized Mullaway
Our SPOT!
Oh! no, the 1st of many PORT JACKSON!
Sue in action! At least it gave me a spell of at least one cast
Full on breakfast, helps land the 'BIG' fish
It looks good, but had to break off the stingray, arm chair fishin'
These guy's started making a nest in our tinnie
More sitting and waiting, tried the spit for awhile
at low tide with only -
One salmon, buried in the sand to keep cool
= sand fridge!
Teresa's happy even if it is only a good size
GUMMY SHARK
Neil and Teresa dressed for the elements and off down the beach to their fishing gutter!
Sue's taking no chances with the cool = freezing wind!
Almost legal Mullaway
Beginners 'LUCK' - Teresa's 1st MULLAWAY,

Oh No! another Port Jackson!

Bliss full evening, who care's if we catch FISH!
Neils phone had to use our high gain aerial, sure lucky the patch lead would fit
& as the sun sinks in the west, yet another _____
Just call me 'JACKSON'! called it quits at
2005hrs it was cold!
Up early - no wind and no fish!!
Clearing some of the bushes along the track and widening the tight corners
One of our Dad's slashes we used a kid's clearing weed from the poultry yards, a fox proof fence pre-fire season.
The wind got up and all hands on deck to put
more ropes on
Time to pack up the weather has broken and blowing a gale, sea weed starting to fill up the fishing gutter, decide to depart a day early.
No sea food, so try some land food - Living off the lamb!!
Camp site in the sand hills
Now that's what you call an all day BREAKFAST!
Lamb noodles = yum!
Camp site from sand hill to the north
Loading the ATV
Third time lucky to get the 'DUNNY' tent folded, then they undid it to perfect the process for next time!
Are we loaded or what!! Sorry folk's no MORE!
Yep! Neil & Teresa are loaded and hooked
up ready to head home.
We are off to Yorke Peninsular and the River Land.
Took us only 1 hr 40 minutes on the Coombra Track - no tree cutting required, still managed to get a cold sweat up when the van rode up over the scrub on a tight bend I had attempted to widen. How ever the independent suspension took care of the load sharing, but it's important to keep moving or the van may tip over given time to settle.
CHEER'S
