Look at that..........

It's some Australian Cobar people and some Canadian Newbies looking at the British Columbia Salmon Runs.
We being new to British Columbia had never seen the Salmon Run.   Heard about it looked at photos but never witnessed it first hand.    The Wilson's had gone looking a few weeks back and were entertaining Greg Brown and his missus.   So they offered us to show us one of the good spots to see them.   This is a early species of Salmon coming through.  Apparently the good run happens in October so we will have to return and see it when it is wall to wall Salmon.    Salmon swim against the current of the river they were born in to their spawning ground to lay their eggs and then die.    Though a few thousands die just getting to the grounds as well.    It was quite the thing to witness and to smell.   I'm looking forward to seeing it in October as well.   It was a beautiful autumn sunny day on Saturday when we had this adventure.     Then back to the Wilson's for a good old Aussie BBQ.
