Awesome pics mate. The water up there looks so clear.

Great mac, wish we had a few more down this way.

Were you land based or on a boat?

silent they can hunt as many as they like.if they get a few like in the pic to follow they tie a rope around there leg on let them swim until they need them. the kids have fun riding them as well.

Poor turtles, can understand living off the land and tradition etc, but aren't turtles endangered???? I reckon they should be, they are special creatures and a great character in NEMO, see you DUDE.

dicer the turtle tasted very ordinary not my cup of tea,i tried some dugong which was very tasty.Mullet is one of there favorite fish which is ironic as there is so much trout and reds about.

Well if people keep leaving their shit everywhere at fishing spots!!!!!!! they will be endangered! I've seen heaps in the bay, better than seeing none, duh! Make sure you use that spotter to miss them in the boat mathill80!
