Something other than GT fishing

I had half a days leave owing from work so i took it on friday arvo and we packed up the camper instead of the boat and decided to stretch the new car's legs a little. We had a pretty good wet this year so many of the rivers still have plenty of water in them

was a bloody great weekend, two nights parked up on the Robe river and i mean parked right up on the river. The kids had a great time, spent the days swimming and eating and exploring and all only 2 hours from the front door of our house.

Will remember to take the fly rod next time, plenty of jacks around and some good size ones as well

have attached a few photos to inspire you guys to get out there with your kids, they will have a ball!!

mine did, beats nintendo wii thats for sure. Ill be back out a couple of weeks after exy

cheers

Brad

I am still to believe that the creeks up there are loaded with Jacks! All I got was a big slimy bucket of cod!

Got to love the Pilbara hey Brad

Did the same except on an island. Magnificent till the sandflies made their presence felt. Be scratching for a week or more I reckon.

With the crocs starting to be more regular arround Karratha and now even as far south as Coral bay I wonder how much longer you can enjoy carefree riverside activities.

I guess unlike the kimberly and NT we dont have the expansive floodplains enabling them to get hundreds of k's inland, when the rivers run they RUN

but
