Prawns




9th July – Thursday

Still haven’t seen any crocodiles, thank goodness. Or snakes!

Brian eventually found the right satellite last night (with some help from a technician) and was able to watch television by bedtime. He certainly provided plenty of entertainment for all the male satellite/television experts in the caravan park yesterday.

A lovely, very warm day today – just the sort of day to have freshly caught and cooked prawns for lunch. They were nice and big, so shelling wasn’t too big a hassle. We did have to have a quiet chat with Cat about sharing though – he didn’t really understand that a kilo of prawns would need to feed three of us! Oh, yum!!!!!

Evidently the fish are biting today and there would have to be at least 100 boat trailers in the car park at the boat ramp and only about 20 boats are visible on the water. There is a fish cleaning station (of course) in the caravan park and I have been getting lessons in the local fish. Grunter shrink after being caught, so need to be at least 45 cm long, bream are the size of dinner plates and good eating. A couple had caught a queenie about a metre long and were very pleased with themselves.

We are having barramundi for tea tonight – from the fish and chip shop.

There are a large number of mosquitoes in the vicinity and most of them had supper at our caravan last night!
