Hi everyone,Well since our holiday, things have been pretty quiet. The kids have been getting into their schoolwork, Mel is busy working and well I have been travelling all over the place. In other words everything is as per normal.
Coming back into town from a patrol I had the opportunity to take photo of one of the trucks that hauls the Bauxite to the refinery up here. The interesting part of it is that everyone coming into or out of Weipa has to stop at the crossing and wait for a green light to cross the road. That's right, we have traffic lights up here even if they are sensor operated and 15kms out of town.
Now I all want you to take careful note of the action of the bowler in the next photo. Yep that's
Michael and he actually took a wicket with that ball. Not bad for someone that couldn't even bowl a couple of months ago. We are still working on the batting, but he has hit a six, which is good enough for me.
What else have I been doing, well remember a couple of months ago I promised I would get a pic of a crocodile, well I finally have one. Ok it is a little grainy and taken at a distance, but I assure you it is genuine. Now for the sad part, this little fella is only about 7ft long, yep a baby, but I photographed him in town down at the shipping port. I have now seen about a dozen crocs but none bigger than him.
Lastly I went fishing the other week with one of my work colleges and managed to catch my first Barramundi. It was 72cms long and well over the legal size of 60cms. Along with the Barra, I also caught an estuary cod which was over 80 cms. Needless to say that it was probably one of the better days fishing I have had in a long time. One fillet is enough to feed the 5 of us..That's about it for now, take care and we shall update again soon.
