    Awesome video Luke.
    You're right, entering wathumba is always spectacular. So good to see how much enjoyment the kids get being out on the water. Here's hoping the border opens in time for the baby black marlin run so I can get up there again
    Keep up the content, very enjoyable

      Thanks mate, really appreciate your feedback and you watching. Hopefully the border opens and we can start welcoming lots of visitors from down south 👍

    Hi Luke, love the videos for this part of the world, just wondering what the max depth at high tide?

    • @FishingBoatingExploring
      @FishingBoatingExploring  2 роки тому +1

      In the mouth it is probably 2 to 3m at high, depending on moon phase etc. Once in the creek there are sections which are a good 5m deep but the average would sit around 3'ish I think.

    Amazing video, Luke! Camera work, scenery, family fun activities, fishing knowledge & experience, and the whole production is first class. The close up whale encounters must have been thrilling, especially for the boys. I always look forward to your vlogs and I'm never disappointed. Can't wait till I'm living up there too. Just 4 or 5 more years till I retire to River Heads. Cheers!

      Cheers Russell, sorry it has been a while between videos. We are incrediably spoilt here. Have you got a house sorted or are you building new for when you move up?

      @@FishingBoatingExploring hi Luke, we bought an investment property up there 14 years ago. Great views over the strait and across to Fraser. Just 5 minutes from the boat ramp. But we holiday up that way every year, usually Burrum Heads. Love the area.

    Why rename? If any of the "original owners" are "Fair Dinkum honest" they should obviously first change and use their own "Black Names" instead of brandishing their "Culturally Expropriated" English names! But nope, instead they rather see everyone else being forced to see a change to their traditional and beautiful sounding name for this great sand island, Fraser Island! Go figure....
    Sadly this "renaming" i.e. Orwellian "new-speak" is a shameless lie. Don't be stupid, the "new" sand island name (I will not speak), is a modern political fabrication that has never been known or used. No documentation, no verification or historic facts are provided because there are none. It is another "Black Emu fabrication" made up for populist political P.C. reasons.
    I speak the truth and I say that like Fraser Island, there are no other true names, only fantasies and modern P.C. fabrications. How could they? We all know that even today many traditionally living "bush babies" do not know their fathers name or have no birth certificates because their bush mothers didn't register the birth.
    Fraser Island is the only known good name of this great sand island and should remain so in memory of shipwrecked Eliza Anne Fraser who survived brutal enslavement and had her compatriots savagely slaughtered by the Badtjalas who speared her husband in front of her. Let's be honest... Thy name is "Fraser Island" christened in James Fraser's own blood on the sand. Do not forget!

      Dude, if you want to talk about blood in the sand.. The indigenous people were unfairly demonized and massacred because of Eliza Fraser, in which the Island was named after.. Also aboriginal names like Wollongong, (burrum) heads, etc are fun to pronounce. So give it a rest. Geeze

      ​@@Elfangorlanzhou Sooo, you got any names n'dates , or you just made that up? Or you just believe everything "Aboriginal" you're told? Those "names" are mostly not Aboriginal names and was never used anyway. Names never ever used until fabricated now for political reasons!
      It is like some snobs of past times giving things French names for trendy reasons or improving estate values, or like a famous Australian wine like "Cabernet Wagga-Wagga". It is mostly Whitie's B.S.. Capish?
