K.I...Day 5

Sat 7th April, 2018

Today, we tried our hands at fishing.  Both novices, we bought new fishing rods and thought we'd give it a go.  These rocks are hard to stand on, especially in thongs...

~

It is a gorgeous little bay...or cove.  Safe swimming for children.

~

It wasn't long before I'd caught my first fish!  Yay!

~

The view back to the camp area...

~

~

~

We headed to Stokes Bay where we had a lunch booking...let's hope they're open!

~

This little bay area was burnt out back in early February.  Around 75 hectares was burned, starting at the Fig Tree restaurant.

~

~

This is going to be our accomodation tomorrow night...how lucky that none of the buildings were burned!  No homes or lives lost thanks to hard working CFS, SES volunteers and neighbours!

~

This is the Rockpool Cafe...a quirky little place serving lovely fresh seafood among other things.

~

It was a very warm day so there were lots of people about...

~

Gus has the seafood plate and I had the crumbed whiting fillets which were very good!

~

Back home we tootled along another dirt road...

~

We were keen to try fishing again.  This time I wore better footwear which made walking on the rocks a lot easier.  Within minutes of throwing my line in, I had fish number one! (4.16pm)

~

Second fish landed at 4.22pm.  Gus was still baiting his hook!  :)

~

Such a glamorous shot!  Fish number three landed 4.25pm!

~

I think Gus got a few fish too but we didn't take any more pictures.  We tried fishing around this side of the cove but didn't have any luck.

~

Back home to talk about the ones that got away.  Seriously, we have been so lucky with the weather.  Sunny, hot days and cool nights but little wind.

~

Dinner tonight is a stir fry a la Joolz ...

~

All the stir-fry goodies...

~

Doesn't look too bad!

~

~

Milo and a bikkie to finish off the day.  Night, night!

Cheers - Joolz xx
