Pt Douglas - Pt Gibbon & Arno Bay



A beautiful morning greeted us and we spend the day walking along the edge of the army explosive range and along the beach. We had another fish and the kids tried out there snorkels. The bait fish attacked me during my attempt to fish but no fish here. We played some soccer & Football.
We packed up and drove the short drive the Port Gibbon. There is a donation camping site there with toilets and water as well as a short walk to the beach. Once again just Shitties and small tommies and a couple of under size whiting. It has been quite windy and hard to fish. All the 12volt gear is working great and we fixed the fridge as it was not lighting on gas properly.
Off early again and off to Arno Bay today. Not a big drive mostly on Bitumen.
We are staying at the caravan park for a couple of days and the showers are a welcome site for all. We are off fishing again just after the locals told us there we no fish here at the moment, it is still windy. We went for a walk on the mangrove, tidal creek boardwalk.
Had a fish using worms that Jason found on the beach his input to our fishing. It was great and Arno Bay has great facilities for visitors. Kirsten caught a mullet and I got a whiting but not much on and small fish again. We spent new Years at the van drinking singing and dancing it was a good night but a couple to many beers.

Well I’m not sure I’m in any condition to write this today. They have new years day events every year here and the kids got to do egg & spoon, vortex throwing, sand castles comps and other great stuff. Everything was free and food and drinks were cheap.
This is a nice place and really into improving their facilities. We had a great day weather is nice but still windy. Tina entered the Stein holding competition but didn’t win the forst price your weight in Beer.
