80 Mile Beach

From Barn Hill we drove a couple of hundred k's south to a caravan park on 80 Mile Beach. It was the most beautiful looking beach but unfortunately you can't swim there. There are strong currents, sea snakes, stingrays and sharks! Good fishing though, plenty of people were pulling in little sharks.




One morning we drove along the beach for about 10km to look for shells as we heard there were lots around. It was true. We found really big shells just lying on the beach. It is turtle nesting season so the whole way along you can see the tracks they make in the sand at night.



The boys tried fishing a couple of times with no success but stood next to someone who had a lot of success and he gave them a catfish. We cooked it up for dinner and it was very nice. Here is Michael having a fish filleting lesson from out friend Dion.



Then another beautiful sunset.
