My wonderful sister, Neroli caught the tilt train from Brisbane to Bundaberg. We then motor sailed (we are always doing this, as the winds still want to blow south or south east and not northerlies to blow us home), down through Hervey Bay, however didn't see a whale for her. Sad.
Popped into Urangan Marina for two nights - this is also known as Hervey Bay Boat Club. It is opposite Fraser Island.
Lovely little quaint Marina, part upmarket town, part quiet country town.
I think Neroli really enjoyed the quietness of the Great Sandy Straits. We anchored half way down the first night and then moved into Garry's Anchorage - really just a gutter off the main strait.
We were really thrilled to catch enough whiting for dinner. Neroli really enjoyed herself.

| Giant Toad Fish - shame it was a horrid fish. These have big snappy teeth and have been known to bite off toes, if you stand still in the water. Ask people from Shute Harbour in the Whitsundays! |

| What a keen fisher person. |

| Catching whiting for dinner in Garry's Anchorage, nice quiet anchorage. |
