Nindigully Pub and Fishing

The river looks high. Do you have another photo to post looking up or down the river and were you there recently? Thanks for the response Andy I appreciate it.

Hi Myles,
Last time I was their was September 2011. Here is a photo looking at the old bridge.

G’day Kev, It’s been a while. Have you camped off Chelmer Road? Any hints? I like a photo with a nice Yellowbelly or Cod but ugly as they are, the Jewfish are the best eating.

My BIL used to work on "Iandra" so I never camped as such, I stayed in the shearers quarters ;)

Withthe recent flood there would possibly be a heap of water around, I found it better to fish when the wtaer was low in the billabongs as I use the theory that fishing with less water means less water between fish hehehehe


Cheers Kev

As I said last time you bought this up, it is now back to the original colour.

I take it raising funds for the McGrath Breast Cancer Foundation is not high on your priorities?

Cheers Kev

Sorry Kev,
Was blissfully unaware the "hideous" paint had a purpose.
I was there with my family in October last year & there was not one peace of literature explaining the support of the McGrath Foundation.
Had there been I would have gladly donated some hard earned towards the cause.
And....with the greatest of respect, please don't assume I read everything you write OK?

G’day Bunyip, I reckon it would have been quite confronting to see it painted pink without knowing that it was done short term for charity. Thanks for the reply.

Darn!
Back to normal colours?
We were there last September (normal) and returned 11 days later to find it pink. We had seen the literature and knew it was happening...in our typical style, we're usually a few days too late or too early for some interesting event!
They raised about $30,000 ( if I recall correctly) for the Jane McGrath Foundation. Pretty amazing for such a small spot on the map!
You want to paint the pub? Put your money in the tin for the privilege!
There was still a lot of excitement and pride in their fundraising efforts and the tin was still being passed around a week later.
Hmmm...maybe it's good that they reverted to regular colours...I reckon, by looking at the crooked bits around windows and doors, many of the painters had been to the bar once or twice beforehand!
:)
PS: About the fishing...in typical inland style, there seems to be a lot of water between the fish. Didn't catch much along the river in the vicinity of the pub or by following the river for a bit, but if there's a nearby spot you know of where there's more success, hubby would love to know...!
