Day off - not off day

Fried fish and tapioka with miti, or coconut salad for those not in the know, for dinner. Yum, what a treat after spending all morning down the beach with the family fishing, and when I say fishing I mean fishing, this place is so untouched that as soon as your line hits the water the hits, and big hits, are on. This is the third time I've been there, and the fishing stays the same. Last time I was there on a low out going tide, and today on near full in coming tide, the kids all caught a fish each of some variety like ogo or baracuda, saqa or golden trevally, kawakawa or cod, saku or long tom, kawago or yellow emperor, and the finale was qio or shark.

Great day, away from work and having fun with the kids, doing what dad likes to do, well they love it too. So we have enough fish for the next week, now back to work for the next few days and then go hunting for a kangaroo or wild pig, that in the lovo or ground oven would be nice, mmm can taste it already. It's good when you work on your lonesome, and you are on top of things, you can do lots of fun stuff especially around here, absolutely untouched country, from the coast of the treacherous gulf of Carpentaria to about 260 kilometres inland to Cape Crawford and the surrounds as in the southern lost city, the Rosie River, Limmen River, and as far up as the Roper River. This country is how it was in the beginning, the last Australian frontier, and we absolutely love it. Well bed time for a big day on the job tomorrow... Good reading.
