An unexpected trip

Thanks for Linda bringing us to the FISH FARM

In the very first night in Exmouth, Martin and I visited the only Chinese restaurant in Exmouth. We were getting to meet the owner, Linda, a very nice woman immigrated from Malaysia, for more than 15 years to Exmouth in Australia. Then she asked us if we would be interested in going to a fish farm with another traveller , Wanda, surprisingly from Hong Kong as well.

This fish farm situate about more than 100km away from the town of Exmouth. Though it took about an hour and half by car to visit a single spot, but it was still worth to see how fish farmers grow fish with the best techniques. Surprisingly the fish farm situate at such a remote site, in the middle of bushland, the techniques applied in there were no out-of-date...the set-ups, the machines keep up giant fish tanks, or the formulas to grow algae all look impressive modern.

Mine one is a turtle head and a goat head! The fish farmer described, "I picked these up in the beach, they were just there!"

Just a big piece of shell.

The fish farmer: This metal net is to keep the kangaroos away from the fruits. There are a lot of them jumping around in the night." Indeed, kangaroos are always a big problem for any farmers in Australia.

 

This is the fish farm. A few ponds digged by themselves.

Well designed water filling work. Otherwise the pond could be dried out so quickly.

Another mate at the fish farmer is going to catch a fish for our dinner. He almost got dragged into the water by the mad fish.

 

This kind of fish lives in deeper water. Therefore they are more aggressive and mad that the creatures in shallow water.

This man is the actual fish farmer drove all of us to his place. He is hanging our dinner!

It was a big fish.

 

Just look at its size. It was another relief from horrible cooking days again!

Happy us~~ We were sure that fish would cost us a lot of money in the restaurant. We actually had eaten the only first half, and it was fair enough for 5 of us.

That's Linda at right. Wanda, the lady from Hong Kong. Thanks Linda for treating in that big meal.
