Rest Day so we are taking advantage of the local scenery. Raining it is but that won't deter us. Went to check out the fishing fleet. Huge, Huge, what can l say Huge but they only go out 55 days a year. They make enough money from this amount of time and catch plenty of Tuna, Prawns, Fish variety and Lobster.
Their income for the 55 day's is 45k and upwards. A very hard job and dangerous. It has proven to be a very lucrative business here in town. It has the most millionaire's that live here for the whole of Australia.

We continued driving to find where we could purchase some fresh fish. Given directions by a local we arrived to a small business which sold catch of the day and other fish. We are learning catch of the day means nothing!. We did select from out he back of their shops some red snapper which l cooked and it was beautiful. We also splurged on oysters and prawns couldn't help ourselves.
Enjoyed our day and are looking forward to tomorrow.
