While St Helen's Beach is nice and scenic, the sandflies are absolutely ruthless. My hands and feet are covered in bites and sooo itchy. I've had to get anti-histamine tablets just to be able to sleep through the night without scratching. Erin and Geoff were bitten too, but they were lucky and not affected as badly.
Geoff tried out some crab pots but only caught a jenny and an undersize crab so came back empty handed. Better luck next time.
We are now in Townsville for at least the next 5-6 weeks, hopefully we will be able to find work to top up the funds and then we'll head to Cairns to meet up with friends and my brother and his family.
