Underwater wonders
The water is warming up and so is the drag on some of our guests’ lines. Barramundi, huge Mackerel, Fingermark and Coral Trout have all been on the dinner table over the past couple of weeks. It’s hard going!
Pilot Whales and Humpbacks are starting to move through our waters too, which is always an amazing experience for all involved.

A painted ship on an ocean
July has proved to be a gem. Glassy oceans has given our guests the opportunity to explore this remote coastline and surrounds. Fishing has been excellent and some guests had the pleasure of travelling out to Leseure Island for a look around at the plethora of shells, turtles and unique crystal clear lagoons. A mummified shark was found along with baby turtle shells.Graeme Edwards and his lovely wife Noelene blessed us with their presence at the camp. Graeme, a double amputee, finally got to see rock art, something that has been on his wish list throughout his full life. Bruce and Liuda, from Cairns had a break from catching all the Barramundi in Cape York to catch a few for us over in this neck of the woods. We were also able to showcase some of our freshly shucked oysters to Glyn and Pam Owen who are Oyster Farmers from Coffin Bay.Idyllic Kimberly days, restful, peaceful, plentiful...
