32 species sighted at Fish Cage upriver to Point Rock and back, Mooloolah River, La Balsa Park, Buddina, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. 23-09-2024.
A single shore entry dive with Gary Sheryl and Tony of 219 minutes, 1.6 m, maximum depth 6.0 m, 22 C water temperature, up to 10 m viz.
Time to get in and glad we did with nice clear water and a lot of Nudibranchs. I think Tony was impressed! Recorded a Myja that does not match what we have. Two Phyllodesmium opalescens were very nice to see again. Great dive.
