Well, Graeme and Anne are back now (briefly) from the Brisbane trade show...they reported it was a good show, but very cold! Apparently the guys outside the pavillion selling fleecy lined drizabones did very well!!
We had quite a cold snap here too, it was around -7 up on the mountain (Glenn Innes, Dorrigo etc) and whenever it is that cold or snowing, up there, then we get that bitter chill down here. However, it soon changed into glorious days so warm that the kids could actually swim at the beach instead of in the warm pool!
We'll have more information about the show to put in our next blog. But in the meantime, why don't you come down and try your hand at fishing...or walking along one of our wonderful beaches? The whales are around, and usually not too far from the shore...bring your binoculars because they have been very playful, breaching and wallowing on top of the water. Great photo opportunities.

Long Weekend and Fishing!
The long weekend (Queen's Birthday) has come and gone. We had a great group of people, and lots of dogs! Almost every site in the camp ground had one or two, but apart from when our neighbourly kangaroo decided to go for a run through the campground one night and got everybody excited (dogs and kids alike), you would never have known the dogs were there. Thanks to everyone for a great weekend.
The tablelands had a bit of a cold snap -7 to -10 degrees in some places, and whenever the mountain gets that cold, we get the fallout. So this weekend was beautiful sunny days, but with a chill in the air. Perfect for rugging up at night and toasting marshmallows over the campfire!! The heated spa got a good workout too - with many campers warming their toesies before dinner!
There are some good low tide gutters at present and good sized tailor were caught off the main beach - 30-50cm - they are always good for a fight and are lots of fun. While the tailor are on, the river bream appear to have taken a break and the flatty are a bit quiet too, but in the Clarence River, the patient angler will always come home with a feed. Some of our customers are heading up Shark Bay beach tonight to see what's around up there, so we will report on the fishing there too in the next couple of days. The good fishing season starts around now, so don't leave it too late to come and try your luck!
