720 Barra  Paul caught about 8 this day he'd go out in the morning then come back to camp for lunch and  then about 3pm he would go again .the size was 300 to 720 this day.

Paul has also caught fish on his new fly fishing rods he is very happy with it, as they stole his fly fishing rods from the rod tubes on the side of the car in Carnarvon, while Paul was fishing.

900 Barra ,  it was a bit windy today and Paul only went out in the arvo  we went for a drive in the morning.
he let the 900 Barra go as we had enough to eat (we only keep for couple of feeds)

this old house belonged to a German guy they called "the hermit" he lived there for years and he had to build that top part for the wet season. He died about 2 years ago 

this boab tree was just behind our camp 

they were only about 10 johnson crocs they are not that big about five feet long, here but 2 years ago they had big salt water crocs here thank goodness they not here this year .   Still not going swimming....

Paul had to pick him up and say hi. bluey.

Here Paul is taking a nut off the tree, he is going to carve it.(will show u the finished product) 

On the way to Derby for the day.

Get off the road Paul.

 We do share our camp sites with cow and bulls luckly they leave you alone, we are staying on a working cattle station here, they just let you camp on there land and sometime the workers come to the pool and go fishing.

every morning they come down to drink.

I finally caught one  (put him back too small to keep ) the next day I caught another one about same size.

Willare Roadhouse  we stayed there 3 nights.
