Riding the River

Still at El Questro.....


Today we hire a boat, complete with tiny electric motor, for $110.


A cheese platter with a couple of beers is the perfect lunch.


Beautiful red cliffs.





This snake was attacked by a hawk - a spectacular sight to witness. The hawk eventually gave up, but not before dropping its catch on the side of this cliff face.

A few moments later we also spot our first crocodile - a baby freshwater crock, all of 50cm or so....






Some tourists decide on the group tour, complete with ranger talking loudly through a microphone. No thanks....




First barramundi catch of the day. A little mince meat with some flour added seemed to do the trick nicely.



My first ever barramundi!!!!



Barramundi #2, just a baby. When I asked Jase to take this photo, his repsonse was, "whah?? You want a photo of THAT little thing???"



Barra #3 - even smaller! Jase pulled an even sillier face when I asked him to photograph the event!!


Okay, maybe I need to change to larger hooks......

And be assured no barramundi were harmed in the making of this website.... all set free immediately after the camera came out.
