Kurrumine Beach

Monday morning we packed up and made our way South to Kurrumine Beach.  We planned to spend the week exploring the area.


We set up camp and spent the afternoon catching up on some school work / blogging.  It was a beautiful camping spot but swimming was not an option at the beach as there was a river/inlet next to the camp area which was home to a number of large / small salt water crocs.  The weather was a bit humid but the breeze helped to keep the temps down.

 


Rowan and Axel were happy to have some space again to play their own games without the other one bothering them!



Despite the concerns with crocodiles, the boys still insisted on going fishing - and who could blame them! Given the big tides, they had to walk out a fair way to find the water. They didn't have any success though.


The next day we walked up the road a bit and accidentally stumbled into an Anzac Day Remembrance ceremony! We had forgotten the date but were happy to attend. It was well attended for a small town!



After the ceremony we spent some time in the park before heading back to the caravan.  The boys were keen to try fishing again! First they had to do some more school work then they were allowed to go fishing.  Chad caught a small stingray but not much else. I was never very relaxed about them running around in croc territory...

 



In the afternoon we drove around the small town and found the boat ramp. Mars was keen to go for a fish there but I wasn't keen on the idea, particularly after he spoke to a local who confirmed that there was definitely crocs in the river - they keep an eye on them while they're out fishing!
