13th September 2009. All of us who live in busy noisy cities of traffic and people like to get a sanity break by escaping to the exact opposite. I thought I had done so recently by taking a break on one of our unique Queensland sand Islands. I didnt really care if I caught any fish but just to walk onto the beach and stand with a beach rod with the waves up to my knees was going to be great therapy. I may as well have been standing at the traffic lights in a major city. A continual line of high speed 4wd traffic on the sand , separated me from my bait box back up the beach and any chance of an escape to nature was gone as both the sea eagle and I sidestepped the traffic.
