We have escaped Pancake Creek, leaving at 0430 in the morning to make the long, long run to Bundaberg. So, now we are up at 0500 and Sunday typing this blog in the Burnett River (upon which sits Bundaberg) this early start must be catching. The trip to Bundie was another drive……..only had wind in the last 2 hours – the winds have been so contrary this trip. We did have some fun fishing. We caught a very large Mackerel Tuna – took me 30 minutes to land it and my shoulders are stiff this morning. Unfortunately they are lousy eating. A couple of hours later we landed a nice 80cm+ Spanish Mackerel , and they are GOOD eating. So that’s dinner fro a couple of days. Today we drive (again) to Fraser Island (maybe wind later today) where we will spend a few days before positioning ourselves for Wide Bay Bar, the trickiest bar on the coast. We will wait for near perfect conditions for that sucker! We are still travelling in company, but from Bundaberg some people are going there separate ways. It has been a great few weeks with these people and Chris and I are very grateful for their company, advice and easy friendship.
