28 species sighted at Rotunda upriver, La Balsa Park, Mooloolah River, Mooloolaba, Qld. 06-03-2021.
A single shore entry dive with Gary and Sheryl of 306 minutes. Maximum depth 5.2 m, 26 C water temperature, up to 4 m viz.
The low running tidal flow really gets the silt to jump and hang! Unidentia is king of the river and many very small juveniles were spotted.
Congratulations Sheryl on your 4 hour dive!
