Considering the season to surf “the bluff” was already getting late, and the harvest work in Carnarvon is year round, it was a unanimous decision. That was to stock up on supplies and immediately drive out to the bluff for a week of camping and surfing. For those that know the place need I say no more… but for those who haven’t had the pleasure its no secret. Isolated by one heck of an anti-Hiace corregated dirt road, rich in swell and sea life, this part of Aus is paradise to any surfer, fisherman, or diver. Here, Australia does it’s best impersonation of Morocco maybe? With goats perched on the mountain tops, the desert meets the ocean and sunny hot days are replaced with cool clear nights. But here surfing is the religion. Huey is God. Beautiful swells are groomed by dry offshore winds, the people are living and breathing for that perfect bluff barrel. Yeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww the local prayer, and beer the holy water…
