Sandy Point, Warroora Station

Did the annual trip to Warroora Station this year and decided to stay at Sandy Point where as in previous years we've stayed at 'The Lagoon'.

Sandy Point was the choice because it's easier on our aging bodies to be able to launch the boats and have them safely moored inside the reef where as The Lagoon means launching at Sandy Point and driving 20 odd km down the coast and mooring without the protection of a reef.

Camp Warroora.

Sandy Point has a bid of a head case caretaker in Stewie who can 1st scare you when you meet him in is Budgie Smugglers minus a toe but cheers to him he went out of his way to make sure the tracks in were graded so we wouldn't get bogged,... even if it was all hours of the night he decided to do it.

His pet goat was another story though!

Everytime you left the camp unattended you'd arrive back to such seens as above!

As in previous years we had shirts made for the occasion, this time from a supplier in Busselton who did a great job.

Every Thursday we made the short trek to the Coral Bay Pub for 'Locals' night where the person who has made the most F*%k ups for the week had to wear a special pink shirt and carry a pink Bunny all night.

I think Graham kissed every girl in the pub that night!

All in all this years trip was at the start of April where previous trips have been in the middle of May, so the fishing wasn't as good as the past and locals put this down to a major coral spawn that had just happened. Even so, we did manage a few good fish.

Hi roddo, I left my boat in

Hi roddo, I left my boat in the water the whole 2 weeks. You just need to be aware of the tidal movement so your boat doesn't end up on the sand at low tide. Most mornings you could just walk out to your boat.

PM sent also.

Nice way to spend your annual boys fishing trip....everybody should have one.

Looks like the fishing wasn't too bad, or the weather too shabby.

Gotta love the shirts....and the pink one & bunny....not sure about the goat, though.

rusty...

stopped in at Tamala Station homestead a couple of years back and a Subaru pulled up behind us-goat straight on the bonnet. And dropped a few ball bearings as well.
