Yep, 50% is the lowest we have had when up there
And still got boats in. :thumbsup:
Yes we just had to reverse down the ramp for a couple of Ks :tongue:

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish

Hi guys, as those who were here last year know I work at the caravan park, so I can confirm that the large cod was caught at the caravan park and was returned safe and well and ready for you guys to have a crack, it was caught on a large yabbie and Justin the guy who caught it was still shaking hours later from the adrenaline of catching the fish he has been after for a very long time. As for the water level there is heaps, the boat ramp in the park good right down to about 35%. Fishing from the shore has been reported to be excellent recently although I have not been fishing myself since before winter. I am keen to go for a fish with you guys when you are here. The exciting news is the campsites you were on ar now covered in grass so your stay should be a bit more pleasant to camp on. Hopefully the links to a few photos I took today will work
