Three Rivers Run

Two rivers and a creek actually. Fished the Goulburn in the Nathalia region and also Broken Creek, both looking healthy and with a reputation for good Murray Cod. No Luck at these two locations.

Happy Australia Day (yeah maybe change the date)

The Constitution of Australia came into force, on 1 January 1901, maybe this is a more appropriate day? not sure. What about May the 8th, or May 8 (MAAAATE!).

Anyway herb crusted rack of lamb, baked veggies and some really nice bread fresh baked to my older brothers recipe.

Happy Australia Day!

Field and Game 'simulated field' Clay Target Shooting

Great day shooting clays today at Mt Wycheproof Field and Game.

For todays competition I was using a Benelli 828U 28 inch barrel kindly lent to me by Matt at Smiths Outdoors Bendigo #allforthehunter

My usual gun is a Beretta 690 Black 30 barrel inch under and over.

Great ground and a top squad made for an enjoyable day.

I was also lucky enough to win C grade.

On any weekend you will find up to a thousand shooters at events each weekend at over 60 clubs all over Australia, predominantly in Victoria. See the events list here at Field and Game Australia
