Geoff l tried that but it tastes like paper to me                   ???      >:D
You just need to put on extra cream and jam and the paper taste will begin to soften

But for that to work properly you'd really need a photo of plain scones so you can put your own fresh jam & cream on them!  :D

Thanks for that Mark  :cup:

You don't know Speewa all that well. He is more paint by numbers kind of guy and he will have no idea where the condiments (for Speewa the tasty bits) go at all now.

He will just have to survive on  :cheers:

Being a public holiday and only working half a day I decided to head down to the causeway that crosses the Tom Turner creek.

With the amount of rain we are having,  the water was flowing nicely, so with the trusted rod and barra lures in hand I tried my luck at catching dinner.

After numerous casts I missed 2 hits from black bream and then 10 min later a good size barra hit the lure but due to the water current it spat the lure just before I could land it.

They barra hang around under the causeway waiting for the bait fish. Normally the creek is about a foot deep but due the rain it rises a fair amount.

Barra 1   Mark 0

Yes, plenty but further down stream. They will follow the food source and as the creeks and rivers rise the crocs will come into the areas chasing the food.

Not sure but a local found another baby croc on the road the other day. It seems the amount of rain we have been getting is flushing the main creek and pushing the baby crocs out of their nests.

You need to send it down to Joff, Mark.

I suggested that's what he needs for his new pond, to keep his other one company!  :D

We went for a drive to the creek crossing  today as we have had a lot of rain and it was flowing.

The road to get into Peppimenarti has some water coming across it as the land, being so flat, has large pools that just fill up.

There is one large water crossing on this road and its deep. One spot the water was up to the headlights.

So as this crossing gets more water flowing in we are now cut off.

The Tom Turner Creek today







The creek crossing a few days ago



This is the crossing on the Peppimenarti rd



Deep and with low range second we crossed ok but the car did struggle for a sec with traction.
