Love the pattern on this one. Looks like it has been knitted

Yep, Google maps has variously routed us through a fenced in farm to someone's front door, into 6 inch deep mud at the side of a farm field, down a very steep hill onto a totally blocked off road, etc. We tend to take Google's directions with a healthy dose of salt.

Wow that’s a big fella great picture

The overnight temperature here is about 20 degrees. A bit different from Canberra. Hehehe.

That looks freakin’ beautiful! 👍 It’s starting to cool off a lot here !!

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for saying hi. Yes, I think Australia is doing extremely well through all of this uncertainty.

I've never been to Canada and would love to go. I'd love to see bears and wolves and would also be very scared of them.

Take care during your lockdown.
Cheers

Really enjoying your journal. So interesting about the lockdown. Here on the west coast of Canada we are suddenly seeing a surge of cases...much worse than Brisbane believe me, so we have entered a lockdown until the 18th of April. Keep posting! I am living vicariously through you. We love Australia and have visited several times. Can’t wait to go again.

Thank you Bill. I added your link. Great photos.

I have a good book on Corral Sea tropical fish at home. I'll be able to identify it when I get back.

Cheers

G'day Bill,

Thank you. The camera is an Olympus TG5. I think there are newer models out now.

One of the features that is handy having it on this trip is that I can transfer the photos from the camera to my phone using WiFi.

I use my phone Galaxy S20 Ultra for all of my non swimming photos.

Cheers
Vince

This might be a sheephead parrotfish.

Could not find IDs for the other fish.

beautiful

Nice underwater photos! What camera did you use?

great night picture

Thank you Bill. Yes, you are correct. I had identified it in the text after the photo but you must have missed it in your eagerness to identify it yourself? Thanks Vince

Is that a pied cormorant?
