Ry 3


Flinders Rangers was a national park with heaps of wildlife. We did a few walks but otherwise we didn’t do too much. Our next stop was Fowlers Bay.  When we arrived Taj and I went for a walk along the pier and saw some fish.  Later we went for a fish, on the way to the pier I asked a guy for tips on squid jigging because it was my first time and he gave us two squid jigs to use. On my third cast I caught my first squid which was awesome.  We also caught a lot of other fish and squid while we were there.  We went on a really good charter.




 

 

Fishing at Fowlers Bay was great, we caught some really cool fish. Taj caught 1 squid. 1 travelly, 1 nannaguy and two leather jackets. Dad caught. 1 squid and heaps of others but we can’t remember what. I caught. 2 squid, 5 leather jackets, 2 parrot fish,1 huge groper, 1 nannaguy, 1 snapper and a couple others. Mum caught 1 parrot fish. Taz caught 1 unknown and 1 nannaguy. I cooked up some squid as a home-ec assignment and the squid tasted beautiful.

 

Next up was wave rock which I had always wanted to see.  It was awesome and I really liked how there was also other waves but they were a lot smaller. Then we arrived at Kondinin which had a really big public pool which we spent most our day at.

Perth was fantastic and had a lot of good things.  We went to Rottnest Island and saw some quokkas which are now one of my favourite animals.  We went snorkelling and saw some fish, there were some huge drummers.  The next day we went to Freo Dockers training which was good but I got bored so Mum and I went to an old jail which was really cool.  There was a display of paintings that the prisoners used to do, they we really good. On our last night we went to Matty Bardsley’s house for dinner and we had a great time with his kids and Taj and I played a bit of soccer.


Our next stop was Jurien Bay.  Taj and I went fishing there and caught 265 blow fish over 2 days. They were everywhere.  We also made some friends and played a few games on the jumping pillow. Now were off to Kalbarri.

  1. Hi Ry,
    What a HUGE fishing haul you've had! The size of the fish you're catching blew me away! And the idea of eating fresh squid made me feel like doing a runner to Heads N Tails, the awesome Elwood fish 'n chip shop Dan and I love. I'm sure even they couldn't compete with the freshly caught fish you've been eating though. Yum!
    Love the picture of you with the quokkas, they're gorgeous ... and so close :)
    Another great write up! Hope you keep having a wonderful, relaxing time exploring Australia.
    Love lots,
    Aunty Liz and Dan

  2. My Gosh I hope you still want to come home, sounds fantastic, Grumps has been reading your Blogs every night and I think he wishes we had kept going although I don't think I would have taken that short cut, dirty red sand? I don't think so oh not to mention Cyclones, would have been like Wilson Prom, keep having a great time, miss you and love you heaps.
