We went out again with the MacFuncans to Corroborree Billabong. Had a BBQ on the boat and the girls mostly enjoyed being able to drive the boat. Maggie had the most fun casting, especially the soft plastic frog. There was some tarpon jumping around in the water but we didn’t manage to get one.
Maggie and I met the MacFuncans down at Nightcliff Jetty and we had a fish. Got a few smaller ones but Maggie was not enjoying it as much as being able to cast lures, which we did at the rocks afterwards.
We went down to Litchfield for two days for Claire’s birthday. It was a lovely trip with Eddie really enjoying the water and particularly Walker’s Creek which I think is his favourite. Maggie definitely liked the Buley’s Rockholes the best.
Did a charter out of Dundee to the Finnis. I suspected I had left it a fortnight too late as the chill in the morning was really out. We worked very hard but didn’t get anything for the day. Watching the bait twitch as the water flowed out was an interesting one. A boat near us got a few including a 120cm girl! Oh well.
Maggie and I went down to Paradise Valley for easter. Quite an expensive flight! But anyway – it was a lot of fun. The weather was absolutely ideal. Hot in the day, cool at night (Wed/Thurs night were freezing) and zero wind. Even rained on the Tuesday we left!
Maggie had loads of fun and was full of stories when we got back. Apparently equal best was kayaking, Kay’s pesto and the dunny run. She spend nearly every day in the water playing. We made the older kids do the big walk. Maggie did not like it – and had trouble watching where she was going. Ended up with quite a few scratches from the blackberry bushes.
