24 th June and the weather is becoming much warmer.

Four mile beach Port Douglas

Lucinda fishing village

Hi everyone,

We have just arrived at Ellis beach. 30 kms from Cairns and near Palm Cove.We will be here for a week or so. The last 10 days we were at Lucinda a fishing village near Hinchinbrook island. Sandy,Graeme,Chris and Don also joined us also Robyn and Russell were there for a couple days. We had lots of fun fishing in our boats. The scenery was breath taking, it took a couple of days to locate the fishing spots. Deb once again is the fishing gun catching large mud crabs on her fishing line and school mackeral on her rod using a blue lure she picked out [ she liked the colour !!!] ps. mike and Greg I have finally caught a nice mackeral on the new rod Ha Ha. Lucinda is a great location we were only staying for 3 days but stayed 10 days we will definately go back in the future. Ellis beach is a great location right on the beach with a pub over the road rather convenient, tomorrow night they have a live band should be good. I have been told we are going to markets at Port Douglas on Sunday that should be a hoot !! hope everyone is keeping warm down south, Regards Deb and Trev.

Hi everyone,

Deb was the only one to catch a fish [ a small bream] and also a nice Mud crab which we had for ontray tonight. I have posted
the picture on the blog. Our next stop will be Lucinda for a week with Robyn,Russell,Sandy,Graham,Chris and Don. We will be able to put the boat in so hopfully lots of fish.Robyn and myself have lots of midgee bites we look like pin cushions. We will update next week hopefully with some good fishing stories. Until then best wishes Deb and Trev.

More cards!

Hi everyone,
We are currently camped at the 1770 camp ground with Graeme and Sandy. Robyn and Russell left on Wednesday and we will catch up with on Sunday at Camilla beach for a few days. The weather is getting warmer each day and the sunsets are fantastic. Fishing has been poor we are hoping it will inprove as we head up the coast. 1770 is a small town on the coast and the caravan park is right on the beach, it reminds me of Noosa in the early 70's. We are walking each day on the beach and though the township. The girls are playing lot of cards on the beach and toasting the sunsets each day. We have set up the annex on the Bush Tracker and have had film nights, last night was True Grit. We are leaving 1770 on Sunday to head up the coast I will update our progress then.
Regards Deb and Trev.
