I've Been Busy OK!

Well the last three weeks have gone like a blurr!!!!

A change in business, Ray White On Mulgrave is no longer, but Management Excellence has taken its place. And then we have had the rush of Easter, Anzac Day and now the May day long weekend is upon us. But I did manage to get a few well planned fishing trips in so here is the story. Due to time constraints, its Friday night and I need a beer before the big wedding / footy / Taipans NBL play off etc so I'm going to be a bit slack here and "Let a picture, or two, tell a thousands words".

I trust this is all OK with my followers so here goes.

Daintree River - Saturday 16th April - the last trip to the high country before the dry season sets in.
