This is a family friendly event of which most members are expected to arrive at camp on Friday night with the official fishing competition starting at 6am Saturday. There will be a small prize for whomever catches the biggest edible fish for the day presented by 5pm. This is a friendly competition and the judges decision will be final. That will be both Ed Reddick and myself. If you choose not to keep the fish, photos against a ruler are acceptable as proof but we would prefer to see the fish if possible. Everyone is expected to organise their own bookings at the Nichols on River Holiday Park with campsites, caravan sites and units available. Be sure to let them know you are part of the Pajero Club when booking. Everyone will also be invited to a group dinner around 7pm at the Nicholson River Hotel just next door to the holiday park.
