Fishing

John, our house owner, has a boat, and one day, all the boys in the house decided to go fishing. So we cooked our meat, got our drinks and fishing rods and got onto the boat in the morning. The boat is anchored at Cullen Bay, probably the costliest place in Darwin to live, with each house costing a few million dollars.



So, we got outside the bay and set off to the sea, but then someone told us that the sea was too rough that day for fishing, and we ended up taking a roundabout to go to the mouth of a close by river.



Beautiful green mangroves lined both sides of the coast.




Resident fishing expert Jens helped set my fishing rod, and after a basic lesson, I set off fishing. Did not have a successful stint, but we managed to catch a shark and a para fish.



Released the shark back into sea, and fried the para for dinner. Maybe next time, we will manage to catch the famous Bara.
