64. Bowen 1

BARNY On our trip south we stopped at Alva beach for an overnight free camp. It was a good camp with only a dune separating us from some very isolated & exposed coastline. The winds here were powerful & seemed to be a spot known to backpacking kite surfers. Neither of us can remember what the spark was that ignited a huge barny between Kaz & I, but what a dooesy.  Whilst we were having a great adventure, it was a full time job looking after the boys, something that Kaz had warned me about prior to our departure. Anyway, after a short lived divorce my beautiful wife bought me down a cuppa as I had escaped for a little time apart & went fishing from the windswept beach. We often stop to get some fresh produce; this one just south of Ayre was a beauty.

THE BOWEN CUP The Bowen Cup is huge. Matt seen here with some local punters.  Go you chick magnet!

BOWEN PUNTERS It never shows in the photos but it was really hot, very humid this day & the jockeys really worked hard as did their mounts. Matt is a mad keen punter & it was the first time he had been exposed to on – track bookies. He had a ball but only managed a few place bets this meet. Better luck next time Matt.
