Fred has been coming back to stay and fish at Anglers Rest cabins, Greenwell Point for a while now.  Last Sunday night he landed this 83cm jewfish from the wharf, along with 7 bream and some blackfish.  Not bad eh!!

This Navy helicopter made an emergency landing at the Greenwell Point boat ramp parking opposite Angler’s Rest last Wednesday after experiencing a transmission fault alarm when 5nm out to sea.  The Navy ordinarily use the Agusta A109E Power helicopter for training, public relations and recruiting activities, and in keeping with their training the Navy crew very kindly took some snap shots of Anglers Rest customers posing with the helicopter while they waited for another helicopter to land with the necessary stuff to get back in the air.  Thanks for the entertainment!!!

Marine Rescue’s SAREX (Search and Rescue Exercise) saw Police & Rescue boats, crewed by volunteers from the region ready for action first thing Sunday morning.  Training exercises were held over the weekend & volunteers accommodated at Angler’s Rest.  Under perfect conditions the volunteer rescue teams found the dummy dropped by a navy helicopter without a hitch on Sunday.  Good on ya, thanks for all your volunteer efforts & choosing Greenwell Point & Angler’s Rest for your accommodation again this year.

Last Sunday Greenwell Point played host to about 70 speed boats and kayaks in the Squidgie Southern Bream Series.  With 70+ teams in the SSBS, the beach opposite Angler’s Rest was abuzz with shiny speed boats, kayaks & eager fishermen.  With speeds of 100+kph I was caught thinking how much fun speedy fishing (or not fishing) could be, but not for long – 50 or so marine rescue personnel were waiting for their coffee…

Greenwell Point probably sees processions of beautiful cars more often than most.  Please, keep the shiny cars coming!! We love the welcome distraction and the opportunity to admire the much loved vintage & classic cars!
