Mon, 13th Aug, 2018 Dingo Waterhole, Lakefield National Park, Qld (35th wedding anniversary)



Lovely temperature – few clouds about. 35 years – wow time has flown but we have had a great time and have two wonderful sons to show for it.

We are all hoping to catch a barramundi on Monday!!

The prawns were all happy in their ‘home’ so we put them in a bucket and walked up along the river to our special spot. Threw them in using our hand lines with floats and we waited. Bob learning all about it so he can try and catch some barra in WA.


Unfortunately no barra came. Probably why we got good bait – no barra left in here!! Or maybe they don’t bite on Mondays!

The wind came up after lunch with a few more clouds. Went back to flick the lures and Bob called out he had found a friend. A lovely big goanna. He wasn’t worried about us quietly walking by him and posed for some photos.


Got him with his tongue out but nearly missed it on the close up. Took a video then another when he started walking.


Margaret and I went further along to flick our lures then we heard a rustle behind us and here was Mr Goanna. He had followed us.

You can take lovely photos up here. I used to get Mum to paint them for me.

We went to the end of this lagoon and after a while Mr Goanna joined us again. He continued along the bank as we headed back. It was amazing how quiet he is getting through all those leaves etc.

No barra so we went back to camp for drinks. Gave Bob the biggest Cherubim prawns to eat and Steve got a few more during the night to use tomorrow. Also caught a turtle and an eel but we let them go of course.
