Trip 05: Day 08: Townsville to Mission Beach: 0730 to 1100

Saturday 02/01/2016
Warm night, woke up early and packed quickly. Headed north, Amanda enjoyed the drive to Cardwell where Les took over. We arrived at the Council Caravan Park and we are set up right near the beach. Ryan got advice from Doug the caretaker to fish at the jetty and Doug invited him, he said you cant miss his tackle box.
We drove up to Bingal Bay and had a look around. At the Perry Harvey jetty we watched Doug and Barry back his tacklebox onto the jetty. It has a fridge (esky) with Queensland soft drink, radio, cd player, and a bbq and cutting board all on 4 wheels.
Doug showed Ryan where to fish and also supplied Ryan with bait. When "see you later alligator" came on the jukebox Dougs big rig with a mackerel head (caught earlier) went off heading to Cairns. Doug, Barry, Ryan and a few tourists took turns reeling in a 3 metre shark. Amanda and Amy visited Woolies at Wongaling Beach. We packed up fishing and headed back to the Caravan Park.
