Day 34. A day fishing on the MacArthur River which flows into the Gulf of Carpenteria. We have become honorary members of the King Ash Bay Fishing Club which runs a great camp ground, bar and bistro. An unusual collection of huts, humpies, shacks and vans all along the river, all focused on the magnificent fishing in the Gulf. We have made contact with local Brett and his mate Chris who are taking us for 2 days fishing in Brett's big boat. Out to the islands chasing mackerel, tuna, salmon, cod and giant trevally. We are staying on an island overnight with good facilities. Deal is we pay the fuel bill for a chance to fish one of the world's great wild tropical fisheries around the Sir Edward Pellew Group of islands. Dinner tonight of seafood and sticky date pudding and a few Coopers sitting around the very long outdoor bar of the fishing club. Lovely friendly people here at King Ash Bay.
