Stanage trip on hold

Somehow I managed to miss my turn off to Stanage, either driving right past the sign post, or perhaps there just isn't one. Rather than turn back looking for it I just kept on driving and decided that I'd just check it out on the second pass. I'm starting to think that won't be as far away as I originally thought. My plan has always been to traverse the coastline in an anti clockwise direction, making the journey twice.

Having a good hard think about various factors, I've started considering going as far north of the east coast as I can (or should) and then double back down the east again, this time stopping off at places I either missed or vowed to return again. In particular I'd be paying much closer attention to NSW, rather than just skimming through on my way to Queensland like I did again. The timing of this just might work better, although I haven't made up my mind on this. I'll be stopping in at Townsville (real-soon-now) for a couple of weeks at least and will probably figure it out then.

Many thanks to his hospitality, I'm staying with AKFF member 'Astro'at the moment, in his humble yet enviable abode in amongst the creeks and national parks around Mackay. It looks seriously fishy here and I reckon the chances that my next big fish will be Barramundi are high. If Astro's recent efforts are anything to go by, Mackeral is a high possibility. Speaking of Mackeral, thats what's on the menu tonight. We've concocting some serious kayak fishing plans right now and something tells me we'll be eating fish every night during my stay.
