Cape Leveque - Brian Lee Tag Along Tour

We decided to do a cultural tour with Bardi man Brian Lee. We had an awesome day, even though it was windy and we all look 10 years younger from the microdermabrasion. Our day consisted of hearing Brain's story, fishing and crabbing.

Fishing for Travelly

Hunter Creek. Named after Brian's Great Grandfather.

The Boys were very excited to be able to use their spears they got from Honeymoon Bay to go hunting for Mud Crab. Unfortuneately we did not catch anything.

Brian told us how you can use Paper Bark to start fires. You grab a piece of bark and rub it together until it all broken down and form a ball. You then use this as kindling. Due to the oil contant in the paperbark it loves fire. We are going to use this tip on our next Gregory adventure.

Cape Leveque - Fishing

Sometimes I wonder if our holiday is about satisfying Mitch's fishing addiction. He loves it. At Cape Leveque we went on a charter to try and catcha big one. Sadly this did not happen, though we got to get to know our neighbours Jo and Brian a little better. Of the 80 fish that was pulled into the boat by the six of us 2 were keepers. However, the boys made sure we took a photo of the different sorts of fish we caught.

Mitch also took to fishing off the rocks. He isisted we take photos of his catch even though they were all undersized and had to be thrown back.

Cygnet Bay

While at Cape Leveque we visisted Cygnet Bay. Cygnet Bay is a Pearl Farm, however, they take you out on their fast boatto experience the massive tides. The area has the second largest tidal movement in the world.

On the boat. This boat goes incredibly fast.
Just going on the boat was fun in itself

Part of our cruise included the seeing whirlpools created by the mass movement of water from the tide. A boat went through these and was a lot of fun. It was like going on a ride at the show. Adrenaline junkie, Ethan, loved it and wanted more. Mitch was glad when it was over and asked "Am I dead?.

different and moving in different directions.

As we were on the deluxe giant tide experience our trip included the reef waterfall. Below your can see the Talon Reef and the water running off it during the movement of the low tide. Here the water is about 2 meters below the reef. On high tide it is 2 meters above the reef.

Cape Leveque

Cape Leveque is a beautiful part of the world. The beach is glorius.
