Dad was up in Darwin for his 60th, so we decided to surprise him with this houseboat trip. If you live n Darwin you definitely have to do a trip out here, the wetlands are stunning. We got to have a fish, but didn’t get any barra. Fishing is really difficult in Corroboree Billabong, at least it has been since I arrived in 2012.

Highlight was getting (someone else’s) fishing line wrapped around the prop, which took a while to sort out, and course we were stuck against the bank after that. We somehow managed to get free by pushing a broom against a tree, this pointed the point around enough that we got the houseboat moving.
