Mon, 6th Apr, 2015 Mick & Anne’s beach house, Ansons Bay to Policemans Point, Bay of Fires Conservation Area

13 degrees at 7.30am, overcast. We were relaxing over breakfast and I was doing my blog. I looked at the time on my computer and said it’s time for a hot cross bun and a cuppa.  After we had it we started to pack up when I looked at the clock on the wall that we adjusted last night and it was only 9.45am – I got caught with the time change!!! My computer obviously needs the internet to change!!!

After we got ready had another cuppa with Mick and Anne and then headed off to Policemans Point which is out at the mouth of Ansons Bay. Up a steep hill then down to the causeway over Ansons River. Some kayakers had just headed off downstream.

Around the edge of the river and along the bay.

Nice flat farm area for cattle – some big bulls resting in a paddock.

Pulled into the spot Ron & Jenny had and there was another van near the beach. Noel said they were just collecting their boat so we moved into the camp spot.

Into position.

Boat access area.

Looking out to the mouth.

The pelican huddle.

Old jetty, looking back into the Bay.

Set up, ready for lunch after a chat with Anita and Noel.

Got our new beach rods out and set up to go bream fishing in the river. Anita and Noel have caught a few so far.

Anita got a nice big bream. Their dog, Billy, was very excited as he loves eating the frames.

We were using their bait. Gave up after a while as we were just fighting with the strong current and the weed. We went and found some little crabs and worms ready for tomorrow.

Went for a walk to check out the other campsites and a Qld chap driving out stopped to say hi. He recognised us – we figured out we met them at Old Mac’s Farm and at Cooee Point. Wandered down to the beach – smelt of rotting kelp and the wind was blowing hard. The clouds are looking darker.

Sky gets darker quicker now too so Steve got the fire going and I cooked dinner. Polly Possum came down for a visit. Will have to put out some vegie scraps for him tomorrow.

Started spitting on us so back into the van which was nice at 20 degrees at 8pm. Light rain through the night.
