Easter 2023

Leaving home at 1130 seems to be what we can manage without too much stress. The odometer turned over to 222222 at about Two Wells, just after we turned off of the Port Wakefield road and headed towards our planned lunch spot at Balaklava. We were trying to drive on roads we hadn’t taken before.Continue reading “Easter 2023”

It’s not just about the destination but about the journey too. 18/2/23

We are keen to see our loved ones but have so enjoyed the relaxed life of the fisher, camper and traveller. On our last morning we woke up to the sounds of the little birds in our lovely spot away from everyone and enjoyed a quick breakfast and cuppa before heading on up the trackContinue reading “It’s not just about the destination but about the journey too. 18/2/23”

Cummins towards home 17/2/23

Trevor went off on bus round with Vinnie. The round goes out to the North West of Cummins and is about 100km total-mostly on dirt. The kids all had swimming sports day. Then we all sat around eating scrumptious breakfast, drinking tea and putting off the moment of leaving. Nat picked some fresh veg forContinue reading “Cummins towards home 17/2/23”

Coffins to Cummins 16/2/23.

Coffins Bay to Cummins is actually a 40 min drive according to Google maps but we actually spent 2 1/2 hours getting out of the park (leaving camp at 1045) and then another 4 hours to check out some local spots on the way to Cummins (arriving around 5:30pm). Our packing up was quick (asContinue reading “Coffins to Cummins 16/2/23.”

The last day of fishing. 15/2/23

We headed for the rocks 🪨 one last time this morning. we don’t need the fish for tea tonight, so we agreed to only keep the big ones. Bob, our mentor, instructor and encourager was also, once again the scaler and filleted for our little group of four. Alan and Rob looked after their own.Continue reading “The last day of fishing. 15/2/23”

Perfect Day for Valentines Day 14/2/23

The wind had dropped and we had perfect still water as we walked along the beach towards our favourite rock fishing spot. As we headed on to the rocks Trev spied a hooded plover pair. We saw another one on the shore as we walked back a few hours later, laden down with such aContinue reading “Perfect Day for Valentines Day 14/2/23”

Mullalong 13/2/23

Due to the SE wind near the campsite four of us decided to head across the point to Mullalong beach where the wind should be in a kinder direction. We took the rocky track across there (about 5km) and stood at the top of the hill looking down on the beautiful beach, full of hope.Continue reading “Mullalong 13/2/23”

A S/E wind and Seasick Bay 12/2/23

We were the last up by a mile again, but the others don’t seem to hold it against us and there certainly seems to be no frantic hurry to get out there. We sat and ate a leisurely bacon and egg breakfast and had a cuppa before getting ready for the walk to the point.Continue reading “A S/E wind and Seasick Bay 12/2/23”

Cowell to The Pool 10/2/23

It was good to have a shower in the morning. We were on the road by just after 8 but the others were heading for the roadhouse for breakfast. We drove on to Arno Bay where we enjoyed another jetty walk and were again impressed by a foreshore with a huge shelter shed, great playgroundContinue reading “Cowell to The Pool 10/2/23”

Fishing , Wading and Paddling. 11/2/23

We woke to the noises of our fellow campers, already up and about and noisy. Trev was feeling ready to go, but I was stubbornly trying to cling to my sleep. Eventually I conceded defeat and got up. 5 out of 6 headed for the rocky point (the usual fishing spot) but had to wadeContinue reading “Fishing , Wading and Paddling. 11/2/23”
