Recent Fishing trip to 1770

[Zeeke]

Went on another fishing trip to 1770/Agnes Water/Pancake Creek.. normally i would have 2 memory cards.. one for fishing fotos.. one for everything else.. this time i only had one.. so.. didnt think id get to do many "everything else fotos.. but i did in the end.. heres a few of the ones classed "everything else" that isnt fishing related

I like them all. Maybe a bit of shadow reduction may have helped the sun set with the little aura. The big aura looks great. Shame about that insect spoiling your cactus shot

Did you catch anything ?

For me I like #2 and #3, #4 would be alright without the big halo / flare you've got happening I find it a little too distracting.

[Zeeke]

Same sunset.. just a couple of minutes later

The big halo was caused by looking directly at the sun... dunno why.. but i reckon it has a weird effect



And yep.. certainly did catch some fish.. this is just a baby.. not what i was after either..

Like the "last post", I was in Bundy earlier this week, went past 1770 turnoff but didn't have time to go in and have a look around, maybe next time!

Its deffinantly worth the trip.. i think.. but it is pretty remove.. its still another hour and a bit drive from that turn off at bundy.. once you get there.. its not much of a town... we actually camp at Pancake Creek which is 35kms north via boat.. as there are no roads.. its boat only.. everything has to be carried in by boat.. fuel, water, supplies.. and often go for a week or 2..

Tim if you enjoy that area now, imagime what it was like thirty years ago before it became known. There are 4wd tracks into all of the creeks in that area but they can be hard to find.

I can imagine.. and its such a shame its being wrecked... after 3 days of walking around barefoot in that area.. my feet were full of small infected cuts from idiots who leave there old cans of coke and such laying around... i normally go barefoot for everything.. much more comfortable then trying to find a pair of shoes that fit

1770 is being wrecked, ive been there 6 times in the last year and a half.. ive seen it gone from sleepy little town.. where on the main road, you would see 6ft tall kangaroos feeding on the grass.. to the same patch of land having 2 houses on it the next time.. and now last time.. there is no patch of land.. theres 30 houses on it and 3 blocks of units.. it is the new "Noosa" unfortunately..

Im now focusing on a new destination.. Curtis Island.. its alot more remote.. being a 50km run by sea or 80km run by the shallows off Gladstone.. .. only problem is, for a national park.. it is absolutely packed with wild pigs, and they are ruining it too.. one afternoon we counted 19 pigs around the 30 to 70kg mark wandering across the sandflats eating the soldier crabs and digging up everything else.. and that was only a small patch of area for a fairly big lump of land surrounded by water..
