King Ash Bay - N.T.

We sorted the trailer wheel issue (we hope!) and we headed out through Borroloola to King Ash Bay for about 5 nights. Although we have heard a lot of great things about this place as a fishing destination, it is a place we won’t come back to for fishing. We did get a very tasty Grunter and some beautiful mud crabs while we were here though, and met some great people from the Central Coast. We saw plenty of crocs and explored some very small rivers up through the mangroves while looking for bait. At one place on the river we came across the professional Mud Crabbers huts – you would swear you were in an Asian country looking at these. There was no mobile reception here, but we did manage to rig up a big pole to get our aerial up high enough to get some reception for the Internet so that Michelle could get some work done.

Mud Crabbers Huts - looked like we were somewhere in Asia! We were certainly in the middle of NOWHERE!
