21.07.10 Distant shores

Surfers Paradise (winter time????)
Noosa from the mouth of the Noosa River

Fishing in the Noosa river


The family (except Matt who lives down in Dunedin) took a break away from our winter, and headed over to Queensland Australia for 9 days R&R. The trip over was interesting, we were delayed 4 hours, our first plane broke and had to be fixed. The second plane also broke and had to be fixed so we waited for a 3rd plane to arrive from Australia to take us over, that too broke but was quickly fixed and we were able to go. They say things come in 3's, thank god they were all on the ground when they broke. The weather was good with the day time temps in the 25 degrees area and the sea temp 19-20 degrees. I managed to go fishing at the mouth of the Noosa river, we were going rock fishing but the swell was too big so we took the easy way out, I managed to catch a couple of flatheads and my mate Barry caught a bream (looks like our snapper). Sadly I didn't get any more fishing in as there were too many females in our group and we spent most of the time being dragged around all the shopping malls in Australia. But now it is back to work and back to the winter.
