Wow Groper, sensational holiday mate. I just hope you didn't try the beach launch from the beach in pic 10! Those oysters and crays sure look the business!!!

[Hodgey]

Looks like you had an absolute ball, mate!

Good tucker, great times and interesting new 'companions' (appears to be a baby Black Duck). Another memorable trip to recall in years to come.

Cheers
