37 species sighted at Fish Cage upriver, La Balsa Park, Mooloolah River, Mooloolaba, Qld. 12-12-2020.
A single shore entry dive Gary, Fran and Never - Charlie in the beginning of 170 minutes. Maximum depth 5.6 m, 25 C water temperature, 2 m viz.
With big storms coming we opted to dive. Lots of silt and therefore low visibility. Some very interesting critters, although they are very small, were recorded. Some are similar to ones we know but we choose to keep them separate because they look different. Well my dream of recording 1000 species is real (for now!).
