Phase 5 of Holiday 2010

I'm running out of things to call my posts! And I din't want to just be boring and call it Lake Leake. Which is what its about.

We spend the Australia Day long weekend at the shack with the Morleys. It was fishing competition weekend and it was alright. It was only alright cause James was too busy with the fish to take any notice of me. Stupid unpredictable boy. I spent a lot of time fishing too - mostly cause there was nothing else to do and cause at the start of the day I thought I might possibly have a chance of beating James - but I didn't. :-( I caught a grand total of 2 measly little perch. And then I gave one of them to Keziah cause she had a grand total of zilch.

James caught 6 perch. The biggest one weighed in at just over 1.5 kg. There were two other big ones and three small ones. Understandably, he won the prize for the heaviest bag of fish. He got a $180 real and now he's complaining cause his rod is letting his real down. :-) Even so he managed to cast it out so far that it used all his line!

The fishing comp was on Sunday so on Monday morning I was hopeful that maby James had given up on fishing cause the comp was over. But no. When I got out of bed his boat was gone. again.

I was friends with Sam a lot that weekend. Which means I did a lot of sitting inside playing cards and stuff and no where near enough time outside in the fresh air. I'm trying to remember when it was that James decided to stop ignoring me. I think it was when I went over there and they were all (Sam, James and Ollie) sitting in their room watching the Simpsons on the laptop. Sam was sitting on the bottom bunk by herself - but its hard to see the screen from the bottom and its more comfy on top. So I was trying to decide what to do and then James moved over and made room for me on top! Yay!

Then Dad came to get me to go out fishing in our boat and James and Ollie came too! We spent ages and ages catching nothing, but I didn't really mind much, cause James was talking to me again! Ollie got really anoying by the end of it though. I don't think he knows the meaning of the words shut up.

We were trolling past the island and James caught a fish. A trout. A little rainbow trout. Dad made hime through it back cause it really was too small - even if it was the only fish we'd caught the whole trip!

On Tuesday - Australia Day - I went for an 8km bike ride with Ray. It took us just under half an hour. Which is pretty good, I mean, it was 8k!

Then we (me, Ray, James and Ollie) went for a walk arounsd the lake. We really really wanted to make it right the way round - but Dad decided to come find us in the boat before we even got close. We got to Kalangadoo Bay; which is probably about a quater of the way round.

There's a map. We started where all the little red dots are - the shacks. Then we walked round chock n log bay, round Clark's Point, along the Red Baech and then into Kalangadoo Bay - where the other road and boat ramp and everything are.

It was tons of fun and we ate so much junk and we wanted to keep going for so much longer - but Dad made us come back. :-( Next time we're gonna get right the way around.

So by the time we were leaving My weekend had improved tons and I would have happily stayed an extra few days!

P.S. Sorry for the lack of photos. I didn't have my camera out and it seems that no one else did either!
