Down the D'Entrecasteaux Channel

The D'Entrecasteaux Channel - named after the French Explorer, Bruni D'Entrecasteaux who surveyed this magnificent body of water in 1792.


A picture perfect day.
A couple of fishing rods.
4 enthusiastic kids and 2 parents ready to reacquaint themselves with 
everything they love about this little island.
A day of jetty-hopping down the Channel was calling.
2 early morning takeaway lattes from Peppermint Bay.
1 Mullet caught by the keenest fisherman of the family.
Another drive through the lush rolling hills to another jetty.
There was crab catching and shell collecting.
A most scrumptious Lunch at The Red Velvet Lounge.
A perfect end to the school holidays.

    1. Sure is Jules, good spotting! However it is a hand-me-down from a Sydney cousin much to the dismay of the Pianoman who barracks solidly for Port Adelaide :-D

      Never in a million years did I imagine the children to have the patience for this activity. They love it don't they?
