Yeah the first time we went there, within 2 minutes of pulling up in the car we saw an aboriginal family pull in a metre queenfish and shortly after that hook an unstoppable jewie which busted them off on the rock bar.

balla balla is a good creek for a feed of fish and muddies and the islands just ofshore hold a good variety of options as well . At the moment the creek is doing well in the fishing department i get the time to go out after work as i work at the mine behind whim creek pub
and it a short drive down the track to launch the boat.. I will be heading out there on thursday morning to see if i can get a few barra or mullaway while haveing a few XXXX s.............

I did really well (above

Tue, 2006-10-31 20:37

I did really well (above average) in the maths component of the aptitude test for the apprenticeship. From what I've been told, those with good maths skills go straight to the top of the pile when it comes to the selection process so I'm in with a good chance!

Hot chicks gallore lol.. nah honestly just as good as anywhere else eh.

How old are ya? Will send mum and email now and she should get back to me by tomorrow morning.

Would be good to work with you up here, I'll chuck in some bullets and you can take me out on your boat :P
