Day 56 Sunday 7th August The drought has broken

We had a quiet Sunday morning around the caravans, enjoying coffees, cake  and good conversation. Hanna and Ray's friends  (Chester and Sharon) left today heading south and we all said goodbye to them. Lyn and Steve went for a short walk and we did a little bit of grocery shopping. Coral Bay boasts 2 caravan parks, 2 shopping centres including a bakery at one, 2 pubs, several cafes and tour booking offices and a large and apparently expensive back-packer accommodation. After lunch, Steve, Lyn, Rob and I took the 4 wheel drive track down south along the coastline to do some beach fishing. We were all thrilled for Rob who after 14 hours of fishing (so he tells us) caught his first fish, a good sized golden trevally. Soon after, I caught a small flathead. Steve caught a small golden trevally and let it go. I then caught a good sized salmon. We were all pretty happy when we headed back to the caravan park. Paul and Ray had spent the afternoon watching the footy and Hanna an Heather had been snorkeling. Rob cooked the fish up on the barbecue  and we all had them as an entrée. Being so fresh they were quite delicious.
