We have stopped previously but not stayed at Moreton Telegraph Station and they always talk about their famous 'Barra Hole'. The Station was relatively quiet with plenty of room, clean amenities and staff were extremely friendly. (Cost $10 per person per night unpowered)
We set up for the overnight stay, and take our fishing rod and lures the 1km walk down to the Barra Hole. Everyone on the way wishing us luck as they didn't have any. Pretty little spot with lots of trees and a number of small waterholes on the Wenlock River.

Gene wanted to practice flicking lures so he walked up and down the waterway changing colours and sizes frequently. Remarkably a tiny Barramundi came out of the snags and took the lure. Just as he was about to put the little Barra back into the water a couple of parents with 5 kids arrive. Well the excitement at seeing the little Barra led all the kids to start enthusiastically flicking their lures. Kiss and release what fun.
