Hopetoun

An eager boy waiting for bait so he can start fishing in the river.

We were amazed at how low the river was since the last time we were there and the dead tree’s about after the hot scorcher they had only a few weeks back. It must have been real hot as birds were dropping like flies and its sad to see these big trees with dead crunchy leaves which fell all over the ground with each gust of wind.

Hopetoun is our little get away as we always went there when we were kids also and the caravan park is nestled right on the beach just about and you can’t get better than that.

We also took the kids fishing off the jetty, trying to catch a fish or two… or in our case none, ziltch, notta thing (Think we fed them up well though). But the sunsets over the water was the highlight of the evening.
