One of the first places I went was the Blackwater weir, impressive during the flooding we had at the time. My experiences here have lead me to seek out weirs when planning trips, often you can free camp near the water.
Some Gifs, can't post them directly here but it is a safe link

Also came across a weird plant that someone might recognise, would love to find out what it is.
I enjoyed watching the fisherman catching barra on lures, even the birds were doing well, didn't manage a photo of any of the fish.
As water levels dropped and streams turned into pools that turned into puddles the bigger fish were stranded, my friend tells me of catching big fish by hand and transferring them further up stream and over the weir wall. Local fisherman looking after their prey, kinda cool.
