Fishing

Spent a couple of nights on the CC's CL at Springwood Fishery near Melbourne in order to have a good day and a half fishing. The spring that normally feeds the lakes has temporarily dried up due to the lack of rain, so the water in both lakes was rather low and coloured.
We stayed here a few years ago on the field, but this time we were on the CL which is right by the road. I guess it is peak season for traffic at the nearby East Midlands airport so the combination of being by the road and on the flight path made a rather disturbed night.

We went to Calke Abbey (a NT property) and had an interesting escorted tour around the gardens before having lunch and then returning home for a good nights sleep.

Probably give this site a miss in future, there are much more peaceful fishing sites.
