Day 42 Sunday 24th July

We all decided to head down to the Pardoo Creek a little earlier to do some more fishing. The tide was still quite a way out so we could see the exposed mud flaps in the creek bed. We walked around on this, collecting fishing rigs that had broken off and were stuck in the mud. I believe the boys found one that they had lost the previous day. As the tide started to come in we started fishing. We were joined by a friendly pelican who thought he was going to get an easy feed. The fish weren't really biting all that much and only Paul and Steve were successful at catching any fish of any consequence. The pelican would follow the caught fish in on the line and try to take it as it was landed. It was very cheeky. We fished for about 4 hours and then headed back to the station. We all had a quiet afternoon reading and relaxing and then went to the station kitchen/restaurant for a wonderful  birthday dinner for Steve. They put on a dinner every night and we all  thoroughly enjoyed it. Lyn and Steve had a large serve of WA prawns and the rest of us had roast (lamb and beef) and vegies. We finished up back at our van having nightcaps and watching Masterchef.
