We caught up with some friends over the weekend down near Ayr's rock, they live on a sugar cane farm about an hour and 1/2 from Townsville. We took their four wheeler down to the river and tried to catch some baramunde but we had no luck... maybe the crocs chased them away. Salt water crocs or 'salties' as they call them and fresh water crocs or 'freshies' are often spotted in the river. While fishing we were told to always stay a couple of metres away from the river and Leighton has never come down to the river without his shot gun, just in case one decides to attack. The river is really gorgeous and clear so its a pity you can't swim in it. He said if there were only 'freshies' he'd go swimming no worries but since there's 'salties' there's not a chance!

On our way home we came across a cane fire.

On Monday Reon had an RDO (day off) so we went out wakeboarding with Rob and Mel. There are also crocs in this river but only 'freshies' so no worries.

Its a hard life!
Little Lewi, he'd get quite upset when anyone fell off!
