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 took Jesse, Anna and Izzy down to Litchfield for the day. They were going to arrive a bit later so Maggie and I hiked to the top Green ant falls. It was about 30 minutes, though straight up. The swimming hole is absolutely lovely and Maggie quite liked the walk once we got there.
Afterwards we met at Wangi then onto Tollmer, both to see the big waterfalls in the wet season.
After that we all went to Upper Cascades. Apparently 2.3km we think it was closer to 3km. Speargrass was everywhere, was a decent walk but perhaps a bit too long for the kids. It was a reasonable spot to swim, but the current was so strong! You had to really pick your spot.
So overall a really nice trip. We got home around 6.30pm, Maggie was exhausted!
