Cohiba Robusto - Bundaberg Ginger Beer

By @Ken Gargett

Not a fish to found anywhere on the Island. No one has caught so much as a hint of one. But we persevere. So goes the annual fishing trip to Fraser Island, off Queensland’s central coast – the world’s largest sand island. 

Head down to the beach in front of the Lodge, just north of the Waddy Point rocks, on dusk. The southeaster is howling but it is to our backs, which means that the poor sods fishing south of Indian would be copping full brunt.

have you cleaned up your fishing gear from last week off?

i have one week's holiday a year (which i have to organise for 8 mates - which is no holiday). thank you very much, mr swan-around-the-world-at-the-drop-of-a-hat. 

and no, i have no had time to clean the gear. i have not even had time to see the new springsteen flick, such is my dedication. 

in fact, i am working during the world cup final and won't be able to watch it. i have to do a presentation at the casino instead of watching rugby. oh, the inhumanity... just as well that my sacrifice involves magnums of old Cristal.
