That makes two of us kooks, I'm a couple of k's north of you at Toomulla and love the log

. PM me if you want to catch up. Lessens the odds of being croc bait
cheers
Yeah mate. That would be sweet. I don't care about crocs, just like most don't care about sharks. Meh, part of the ocean deal really.
but to be honest I've never seen a croc whilst been out. I think the stingers are far more dangerous and stinger suits are a MUST most of the year. This time of the year it's sweet as, but no waves now. Wind's will be back though any day now.

I went to high school up there and joined Arcadia surf club on the Island for some ocean time... Bummer that when it actually had waves the ferry's at that time were cancelled.
I surfed a few times on the Strand in cyclones. Quite surreal, mid 90's not many people surfed aroudn there and I have an amazing memory of catching waves while all of the cars were honking horns and flashing lights. Crazy fun.
I lived at Black River, I'm blown away that you surf at Saunders.... Have seen so many croc slides in the creek around the old salt pans. Also used to launch out of Balgal to camp on Palm and Havana Islands, plenty of crocs up there also.
No questions it is the real QLD up there. Love it.
