We headed out to a small town called Buxton just 10 mins drive from Marysville over one weekend, and tried our hand at trout fishing. There were a few ponds, ranging from easy to challenging. Since we needed lunch, we headed for the easy pond first.
And the fish were soon biting! Like this fella here. He must have been very hungry or greedy, or both.
It was a lovely cool summer day, and there were heaps of families out having a picnic in the sun.
We brought some food along too. Those were scotch fillets, or rib eye steak, as well as onions and sausages.
The boys at the grill starting with the sausages and mushrooms while the trout fillets were being cleaned.
They looked amazingly fresh. We had a few different flavours- lemon and herbs, sambal and tomyum.
Steaks on the barbie- our chef insisted on making sure everyone had their steak to their desired doneness, so the orders ranged from rare to well done.

Pretty large grounds, a great place for a birthday party.
The trout with lemon and herbs. Super super fresh and yummy.

We also went to Marysville for some sightseeing. This was Steavenson Falls, with the Steavenson river flowing into Buxton too.
