Bing Bong - N.T.

From King Ash Bay we drove around to Bing Bong, which is just a port on the Gulf for the McArthur River Mine. But there is a boat ramp there and we bush camped up the river a bit so that we do a bit of fishing in the Gulf. The water was a beautiful colour there and we went out in the boat around West Island which is aboriginal land and had some great fun catching black tip reef sharks, queen fish, heaps of mud crabs and Jaime pulled in a great Tuna. We ate plenty of fish and crabs for the 3 nights we camped here, the one big down side to camping there was you had to have on long pants and shirt in the morning and afternoon/  night due to large number of sandflies.
