Struisbaii


There is a small working harbour which is home to twenty or so day fishing boats and a few sports fishermen.

We watched them landing their catch on Friday evening – boxes full of yellow-tail - which was being sold off the quay to local dealers, restaurants and residents. Think we have eaten a bit of this catch over the weekend.
At high tide, the sting rays come right up to the waters edge -they have got used to being hand fed bait by locals and visitors alike. These are big rays – at least 1 metre across – and remembering the story of Steve Irwin, I decided to watch from the quayside.
