Yardie Homestead

Today we packed up the caravan and drove 175 km to Yardie Homestead. We were originally going to stay in Kurajong camp in the Cape Range National Park but had (without realising it) arrived a day early. So we drove to Yardie Homestead were we're going to stay for the night. We left early enough in the morning and were driving by 9:00 AM. When we arrived at Exmouth we stopped to do some shopping.

Dad and I popped into the local tackle shop to find out about the good fishing spots while Mum and my sister went into the news agency to buy the paper. Dad bought some soft plastics and a poppa. Then we went to another shop. This time it was a diving and snorkelling shop. I got some slip on water socks. I need these because every time I put my flippers on I get a swelling on my feet and it hurts when I poke it. Dad was looking for some as well but they didn't have any more in Dad's size. After that we went and found Mum in the IGA store.Then we went and bought ourselves sandwiches from Brumby's Bakery. Brumby's is by far the best bakery in Australia. Last trip we were always on the lookout for Brumby's as their products taste delicious.

After that we went back to the car and drove to the station where they let you into the camping sites. The woman at the station said we weren't on the list 'til tomorrow. So we drove to Yardie Homestead, unhooked the caravan and drove to a beach to do some fishing. I cast a metal "spoon" and after a few cast hooked a fish. My drag was set pretty lightly as we were fishing for Flathead again. The fish took off and I just wound against the drag. After 30 seconds the fish threw the hook and I reeled in my lure. After that I didn't catch anything else for the rest of the afternoon.

After fishing for a few hours we drove back to the caravan and Dad and I went and had a shower. When we got back to the caravan Mum and my sister went and had a shower. Then I wrote the blog. After writing the blog we had dinner. Dinner was chicken Alfredo. After dinner we had dessert. For dessert we had some chocolate milk which Mum had bought in the IGA store. Then I went to bed.

Oggi siamo andati da pesca.
