Lovely stay at Taylors Beach. Nice people in the park, both owners and residents. Very helpful as well. Hints and tips on fishing, where and when to gather bait, borrow my bait pump if you like. Tides aren't much good! The problem is that there isn't very much room between the tides at the moment and high tide is eary evening or very early morning. Makes it difficult especially without a boat. Still there are plenty of fish being caught. My score is one bream. we were given a nice Silver Trevally that I cooked on the Weber. The midges have taken their toll once again.While I was filleting our bream the other night at about 6.15-6.30, they attacked me with a vengeance on my left elbow and behind both knees and down my legs.
Day trips to Halifax, Lucinda and out to Dungeness was an eye opener. Quite a resort at Dungeness and an extensive boat launching ramp and mooring facility there as well. We overheard a couple of bloke,s who were loading there boats, conversation about whales offshore today. Apparently they are quite often seen off the end of the sugar wharf at Lucinda.Day trip to Wallaman falls was quite spectacular.
Moving on towards Charters Towers. We are going to check out a couple of free camps along the beach before Townsville as that is when we leave the coast and turn West inland to the gold town of the "Towers." During the gold rush 1870-99 there was a Stock exchange here and the town was known as the "World" as there was anything you could possibly want available here, why go anywhere else?
