Sunday 27 December 2015Left home at 11am, 27.5 degrees & a glorious day. Stopped to fill up at McKeown's & again at Chatto Creek for brunch - seafood chowder. Up to the hut, as Kirsty & Dale are following us up in our truck. Got set up & went for a fish. 1st cast on my new rod - a cute brown, too small to keep but a feisty healthy little fish. Tried some more but no more. Mike & I went for an explore with Stoney (can't really take Rox anymore as she's too blind) - Mike on the quad, me on my bike. Stoney ran and ran and then got tired so he hitched a ride with Mike! Went for a ride on my bike (to test my off road hill climbing as I've got the Bannockburn Classic 35km race in a couple of day's time) while everyone else pottered with boat.
Then just chilled and enjoyed the 30 degree (with a blustery wind) day! Had koura as an entree - caught in the trap repaired by Dale, & by Dale sticking his hands under rocks until a koura grabbed his fingers!! Also had steak, the 1st of the season's fresh corn and fresh peas. No spuds or mint as I'd forgotten them! Bed at 22:30, fell asleep watching the almost full moon rise in spectacular glory over the dam.

Up at 06:00 - beautiful morning. Not a cloud in the sky, 13 degrees. Between getting up and now (07:20), the wind has done a 180 and now a gentle southerly. Hope it stays gentle!
