Steep Point - finally


We left Denham this morning bound for Steep Point. What was only about 240k turned out to be 4hrs. 180 odd klms was unsealed, most of which was quite good, but 10k of the worst corrugations we have seen so far, literally 10-20klmph. This section is what doesn't get maintained apparently.

The ranger has the best house known to mankind on a beautiful point, we checked in and had a chat then proceeded to set up. Once again 10m from the ocean and totally secluded. I dig that.

Just out from us was a rocky outcrop with a rock island 50m further. There are hundreds of birds nesting there and we think they may have hatched because they were going bananas all afternoon.

I went for a fish, only having soft plastics and I could not believe how much they liked them. A couple of bream and a red spot emperor (snapper family) and all was good. We saw turtles swimming by and a plethora of reef fish below our feet.

Oysters abound all over the rocks - I will have a crack at them tomorrow.

This looks like another spot I am going to love....

Jase...
