After leaving Rene we headed south to Alva Beach, not far from Ayr. Here we stayed a night and tried our luck fishing. Brons picked up a whiting and a few herring and Ruth a small flathead. Then on to Conway where we stayed the night on top of the hill overlooking the bay. A great place to have our morning coffee. We fished the flats in the morning and Brons managed to hook up on a tailor but that was all. We bypassed Airlie Beach a nd headed for Smalleys Beach for three nights. We stayed there on our way up the coast and caught some nice flathead but this time things were a bit quieter. We only caught some small Queenfish, a bream and another tailor. Nothing much more to report except for passing the giant abbo on the way out near Mackay. We are now camped on the beach just south of Mackay at Carmilla. We fished today but only turned up another small tailor. Not a bad spot to camp, it's right on the beach and it's free but there are grey nomads everywhere! They must all be having a post school holiday and pre winter spin in their vans! It's quite amazing this place is chockers and there is only one tent amongst all the campers. Everyone is sporting new vans and a contented grin of having just spending their children's inheritances! Heading towards Anges Waters tomorrow but will break the drive with a stop for the night at Calliope. Not far to go now Lulu! Love to you all.
