Day 32-34 Cape Leveque

We drove to Cape Leveque from Broome. The road was red dirt and sand for most of the way and very bumpy. Dad looked like Ace Ventura because he was bumping up and down.

We stayed in our tents and Geoff, Penne and the kids stayed in a "deluxe" safari tent.

One day we went out on a boat to do some fishing and snorkelling. We saw some whales and a sea snake. The sea snake was venomous and pretty scary. One whale had just given birth to a baby calf and the calf was suckling next to the mother.

Dad caught a fish called a Mac Tuna. It is a strong fish and Dad had to fight pretty hard to get it in. We threw it back afterwards.

Henry caught 3 fish and Olivia caught 2 fish. Henry's fish were all Spanish Flags (stripy sea perch), one small, one medium and one big. We took the big one home and put it on the BBQ to eat. It was pretty good. Olivia caught a scarlet sea perch and a yellow tailed fusilier but they were too small so we had to throw them back.

Gigi also caught 3 Spanish Flags and Claudia caught a scarlet sea perch.

Henry and Olivia both think fishing is really fun and can't wait to go fishing again!
