DAY 236 - 10/10/2010 - Streaky Bay, SA

The girls spend all morning doing school work then off to the local jetty to throw in a line.

The fish bite immediately and latch onto our lines but they are too small to keep.

Here on the jetty we meet a local called Terry, a veteran fisherman on these waters. He identifies all our catches and tells us if they are ok to keep or not.

He is fishing beside us and his luck is better than ours. Terry catches a huge salmon and gives it to us for tonights dinner. In return we gift him with beers from our esky which he wouldn't accept at first but eventually does but only a couple.

It was a fun day for all.

All the local kids are jumping off the jetty into the water until one spots a seal. Seals spells shark in these waters. Although, this does not stop them for long and they are back in the water. This time they have swam over to a boat moored in the water and are now jumping from it.

By the late afternoon we have had enough of fishing because they have stopped biting and the tide has changed. We drop the rods off back at the van park and then we go for a drive to check out Cape Baur.

Its a beautiful coastline and we enjoy various lookouts along the tourist route.

Back at the van we cook up todays catch of salmon and herrings and they are so good to eat. Very delicious.

We are all exhausted after being out in the sun all day and are looking forward to an early bedtime.
