8 species sighted at Toilet Block Bubble Wall, Mooloolah River, La Balsa Park, Buddina, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. 06-02-2024.
A single shore entry dive with Gary and Gail of 142 minutes, 1.1 m, maximum depth 4.6 m, 28 C water temperature, up to 3 m viz.
After a bit rain with 6 more days of inclement weather coming and a 1.1 m tidal flow it was time for Toilet Block and Bubble Wall. Murphydoris cobbi were the ones to see. The species count is low for some reason probably because of the rain we have had.
