Fishermen at Queenscliff

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Fishermen on a pier at Queenscliff, Bellarine Peninsula.
I especially like this photo because it highlights a range of age groups enjoying one interest!
But fishing still appears to be a sport dominated by males!

Old sport of fishing
Old ways and new synchronise
Fresh souls are learners
