capitain cook caravan park is cheap if you want a cabin but make sure you get 1 at the front of the park with ac . other wise there are heaps of places to rent on line if ya want a house. late june seems to be when the spanish get there but as far as i know the fishins good for most of the year.

Throw poppers at Bustard head. It's GT & Queenie central.

G'day mate. If you can get out there, i'd recommend heading out to Fitzroy reef and it's surrounding reefs. We did a trip up there late last year and we did reasonably well considering our sounder was dead on arriving to pick my mates boat up from the boat yard. I can't tell you much more as I myself have only been up there once. We're trying to organise a trip up there in the next couple weeks so hopefully i'll have a report for you to read :-)

Hope this helps mate

Cheers
Paul

We just sleep in the boat inside fitzroy reef. But we've only ever stayed up there for one night.
I just did a quick google search for accomodation and there's a few places to stay up there, have a squiz
