Deep Creek

It seems I'm even slacker than first thought, spend enough time hanging around my brother and that can happen. It seems I forgot to post the Deep Creek Story.

We drove down to Deep Creek NP with the kids and had a bit of a look around. Unfortunately some of the tracks are closed because of the rain. We did find one nice little track to 4WD on. We decided to stay at Cobblers Hill camp ground because it is close to Blow Hole beach. We are all tenting it this trip.
Once we got set up we headed down to the beach for a fish. A blowy day and another dodge tide. It seems like this is the only time we fish. Tina caught a nice size mullet and that was all we picked up. Back at camp and some nice satays for tea.
Late that night some drunken “P” platers rocked up made some noise for a while and then crashed out.

Bacon & Egg breakfast and then off to the Deep Creek waterfall walk. A nice 2 hour round trip walk although I think we are getting a soft because we didn’t seem to power walk it to well.
After lunch the kids and I headed back to the beach in search of more fish.
Not long after we arrived we were on to some mullets with a nice 30cm one pulled to shore. The berley was working well and Kirsten and I were both getting bites. We only ended up with 3 to keep with some smaller ones sent back to the ocean. If the tide was coming in we would off been able to catch more but they followed the berley out. As we found out as a boat came into the bay and caught 10 in a couple of minutes fishing our disappearing berley slick.
A beautiful Roast on the Cobb for tea and a couple of spots of rain have started while I sit down to write this.

Up early and packed up to head back home a stop at Second Valley. Just the one squid not longer after we arrived the wind blew up.
A couple of nights at Mels and the completion of Christmas shopping completed. We headed back to Willunga for the weekend to finish off all the work on the van and car.
