Casting big memories at Cottage by the Sea 

For many, it was their first big journey away from home, and the anticipation built with every kilometre as they got closer to Queenscliff. 

One of the biggest highlights of their stay was heading out on a fishing charter. The moment the boat left the Portarlington Harbour, the group was buzzing with nerves and excitement. For many, it was their first time fishing and being out on a boat. The fresh sea breeze, ocean views and gentle rocking of the boat set the perfect scene for an unforgettable day. 

As soon as the lines hit the water, the action began. Fish after fish was reeled in, with flatheads stealing the spotlight. Laughter and happy squeals echoed across the boat as friends cheered each other on – celebrating each catch, big or small. The children were proud; you could see it in their faces as they held up their catches for a picture. They had discovered a new hobby!

By the time the charter wrapped up, everyone was glowing with excitement and were delighted with their achievements. The deck was full of stories, photos and memories they’d talk about for a long time. Their journey from Mildura was certainly worth every kilometre.
