Can I catch fish or what?!

Greetings from Lake Tyers, where I managed our first fish for the trip. And what a corker! Check out the trip photos for a picture of said monster. We're just a little north east of Lake's Entrance where there happened to be no free camping. We've been here for a night and will stay for one more before we head somewhere else. Possibly Malacoota. After Thailand we stayed with Ruth's Aunt Liz (Thanks Liz!) for a few nights and then made our way to Golden Beach for 2 nights. It wasn't a bad spot but was windy and the mozzies nearly carried us away. Not to mention a few yobbos that turned up and subjected us to Casey Chambers which is torture in itself. We spent an afternoon on the beach digging up pippies for bait but when the wind refused to abate we ended up cooking the pippies for tea. They were pretty bloody good too! We have our current campsite to ourselves apart from a 5 foot lace monitor that we just spotted. We've been warned that these things will wander into camp sites and steal food directly from your bbq. This one was being hassled by a magpie and didn't seem to like us much as we tried to get closer for some photos! We also spotted a young seal clambering up the beach as we were fishing this morning. He also wasn't keen on us trying to get a pic. Maybe we smell? Anyways, I'm off to laze around in the sun for a bit. Cheers!
