HUGE BARRAMUNDI | 3 DAYS SLEEPING IN THE TREES

AND barramundi smoked on the fire. What a ripper day, waking up in the trees, Damper cooked in the ground, amazing fishing in a remote CAPE YORK RIVER and a catch and cook with Barramundi on the camp fire. This is what its all about, this day right here is why I do it. I hope you all enjoy it.

    Agree- being retired I search and look for content of this nature, there are a lot of irresponsible people out there who post what I consider in appropriate and not we should be trying to show others. In Wild Reaches there is a mixture of adventure, responsible care and working with the indigenous communities to ensure an understanding of land and cultures. It also helps that Nate is from the Noosa Hinterland where we have here a diverse geographical location that blends in with what he promotes.
