River Rat Eco Cruise
Sunday night my Mum and I enjoyed the River Rat Eco Cruise at Mission Beach. It's a lovely cruise along the Hull River looking for crocodiles and putting in a crab net. The really fun part is when it gets dark you get out the spotlight and look along the river bank for the 2 little red lights that are the tell tale sign of a crocodile. Unfortunately the crabs had to go back in as they were undersized but that's okay it was all for fun. We had a lovely picnic at Hull Heads after a short stroll along the beach to look at the islands, you can see the Family Group, Dunk, Bedarra and Hinchinbrook. Just lovely!
