Hi everyone :)
Not so much a fishing report, though some fishing fun was had while on this trip to finally go to the very top of Australia.
The girls have been living there for 6 months now, and has the place sussed out enough for me to go up for a visit.
Rather than right a full report, l'd just like to share lots of photos and a short video clip at the end to give you all a bit of an idea of what we got up to.....
