On the way back from the airport tonight I got to chatting to the taxi driver, and it ends up he lives on a houseboat.
Anchoured near the gateway bridge in the Bridbane river at the moment and sometimes anchours near Kangaroo Point in the city. Don't know about you guys but I find that really interesting. Being able to just pick up and move to a new location whenever you feel like it. Apparently he also has a registerd permanant mooring at Victoria point when he isn't driving a cab.
Catches a few fish off the back but doesn't put pots in that far up the river. Just a bit too sus.
Was saying how last week there were a heap of prawns around so castnetted off the back of the houseboat and got half a bucket.
Some downsides with parking and leaving his dingy tied up and public jetties, but sure sounds great for some that are not your normal 9 to 5.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting.
