Please, there is more to life than fishing for fish.

Want a good fishing story? Years ago, when we lived at Numbulwar and our youngest was a smidgen, he whirled his line to cast it.

Into the air went the line, catching a seagull flying past by the leg. He hauled it in, and despite its vigorous flapping protests, we managed to release the bird.

This scenario was an instant hit with the folk who witnessed what happened.
