It didn't exactly brighten up today but at least it stopped raining. We had lunch with Glenda and Trevor at the Catalina Country Club, basically a 27 hole golf club with decent catering and the inevitable pokies ( see earlier post). Had a taste of barramundi, which is a sporting fish (enjoys a game of darts I expect) and not bad either. Trevor had to go back to do his school bus run, so we drove down to Broulee to see what was going on. The surf wasn't great but there was a clutch of surfers out.


We went on to Mogo, which (if you haven't been paying attention) is an 1850s gold rush town, now largely shacks selling arts and crafts - ceramics, leather, beads,etc - some genuine, some sadly made in China. There's a bit of new age crap like tarot readings and psychic meditation as well, but we found a nice working pottery and bought a little pot to bring home.

      Sorry the Great Barrier Reef is as far from here as the Arctic Circle is from you! Oz is a VERY big country! We'll see if we can bring you back something from the gold rush town. Cheers, Bob&Pat
