Holy Dooly what a change in the weather .We have had down to about 7c overnight since we have been here ,nothing over about 10 c , then bingo last night 19 c and 37c today with high humidity. So water temp has shot up and fish are on the chew . Beverley got a 75 cm barra yesterday on her new birthday fishing rod and another one this morning . I got two this morning as well . So freezer in the van fridge is chockers with barra filets plus a few other ones . So that's the end of fishing as our 12volt freezer stopped working when we got here , so we will probably wander home early next week . Dreading the packing up

still doing it tough

Still haven't increased the fish catch . Has been very windy the last couple
of days  , gusts up to 30 knots which blows a bit of dust around . Looks like the wind might be around for a couple more days . One good thing is that we have put up the aerial for the phone finally
and have good 4G reception and able to hot spot the laptop so I can play on the internet . Going
to try to add some photos again .

                               

  62cm barra , 2x55cm queenfish , 1x 42cm mangrove jack

Well not  much excitement since the last blog , though we have managed to get some fish at last but not firing up yet as in previous years,  water still a bit cool only 22c needs to be about 24-25c to get the barra firing ,anyway still having a great lazy time. Having no end of trouble trying to add photos but just cant get it to download

Been out a couple of times in the tinnie for no results Have caught nice fish at the camp . Very windy today and hot , so we will just have to tough it out

Finally an update. Got here Saturday arvo , road had just finished being graded the day before , so it was the best ever , but it soon deteriorates.  We have a great camp site on the bank of Batten Creek only seen 1 croc so far . Had a couple of short runs in the boat but no fish so far ,we will get serious tomorrow or whenever no rush . Weather is so different  from down south we have over 30s every day , last night it was chilly got down to 11c

Sunset in nw  qld at 6.25pm. It has been a hot day for traveling  ,made 31c after lunch , tonight should be about 13. Stayed last night at Kynuna . Went through McKinlay where they filmed crocodile dundee at the walkabout pub. Called into Clocurry for shopping and stopped in Mt Isa for a decent coffee. Overnight at a roadside gravel pit ,nice and quiet only 2 other campers. Sitting  around in just shorts at the moment,  still very warm . Will take it a bit easier tomorrow as we have done 1000ks in the last 2 days
