The southern end of the Eyre Peninsula was the next spot on the map we wanted to check out. I had always wondered what Port Lincoln would be like after hearing about it as a kid while watching Dean Lukin win Gold in the '84 Olympics. It is a great spot! One of the interesting facts we heard while there was that town has the highest number of millionaires per capita in Australia.

Bronte has a win, first one to land a fish!
Port Lincoln is home to Australia's largest commercial fishing fleet.
On our tour with Triple Bay Charters.
First stop on our tour was a seal colony in Boston Bay.
Here's looking at you.
Kids are missing school ;-)
One of the Tuna farms.
Each one of these babies are worth around $2000.
On the way back in the guide spotted something odd in the water. I was hoping to get a look at a Great White shark but when he slowed the boat down and handed me a net I had second thoughts. As the boat come to a stop I spotted colour in the water and stood ready. When the shape surfaced I had a swipe and managed to land my first goose! The little bloke was looking a little worse for wear, but was released at the back of Boston Island and will live to fight another day.
About $100 of A grade Sashimi.
The kids weren't too keen on the idea of eating raw fish but to their credit they all gave it a go. The girls thought is was ok but Seth was keen to keep tucking in - he even gave the wasabi a crack!
