Escott Station

[Sunfish]

What a shame Was hoping to fly back there soon.

Escott was where I caught my first barramundi - a tiddler 84cm!

I remember my first visit in around 1986. Freshies in their little pond, tame jabirus (feathered variety), kangaroos and Brolgas patrolling the camp ground. The way they all lined up for dinner behind the restaurant/bar. Then there was the emu that "owned" the airstrip.

Was still going on my second visit around 1999. I'll never forget motoring miles up the Nicholson river in a tinny, watching the crocs coming off the banks as I went past....perhaps that's why liability insurance became an issue.
