Bremer Bay

---

Friday 13th March 2009

A drive around the inlet and Bremer Bay beaches was enjoyed after we’d found Fran and Jeff’s and unhitched the van. We saw on a sign that the Sportsmen’s Club was having a $15 Friday night roast chicken or steak night so decided that was the way to go for the evening. When we arrived just after 6pm we were among the first so we bought a drink and joined a few of the locals at a table outside. We had a very enjoyable night and the porterhouse steaks were fantastic but as good was the terrific range of salads and roast potatoes and pumpkin.

Over the next couple of days we relaxed, read and Rags fished! On Saturday he caught 4 fish but only one keeper! On Sunday he caught about 8 but 2 of these were keepers! Enough for a meal!
We also went snorkelling at Little Boat Harbour. Craig from the dive shop in Bremer Bay who we’d met on Friday, had told us the water was warm and this was one of only 2 places in Australia where one could see sea dragons. We didn’t see any as the water was very choppy but we did see lots of little colourful fish and a wobbegong shark lurking in a hole between some rocks.

Unusual cottage on the beach
Exploring one of the many dirt tracks from a beach we found this place being built. The builder, Albert, came out and invited us for a drink. We were a bit unsure but then he invited us for a tour so we ended up having a tour and a drink!

Albert the stonemason
Albert was an interesting character originally escaped over the Berlin Wall from East Germany.

Little house for the builders
Albert had built this little house to live in while he did the stonework on the cottage. What a cutie!

More fishing
At the end of the street was a short jetty where Rags had more luck with his fishing. One of the locals told him to use mullet as bait and this worked a treat!
