ok, time for an update.
Things are good up here, but my camera has an issue with the batteries (liIon rechargable canon) it has. Anyway, that shouldn't be an issue by the time i get out to the reef again.
Stinger season has now ended officially, so there will be much more activity in the near future.
There will be some pics up from a recent trip to Lord Howe Island off the coast of New South Wales. Those of you who know about Lord Howe will know how special it is.
Those wide banded clowns that are so incredibly rare in the reefing buisness are EVERYWHERE out there, then again they are an endemic species restricted to Lord Howe.
Anyway, the photos should be ready to be uploaded by about the middle of next week at the latest.
Stay Tuned!
Oh, and thanks again everyone for the comments

These are a few teaser photos from Lord Howe Island until i get them all sorted out:
Green Turtle in the shallows.
McCullochs Clownfish (endemic to Lord Howe Island)
Some peckish silver drummer looking for their daily ration of bread.
LHI Lagoon
Some lurking heavyweights, the spangled emperors and kingfish are hand fed at the beach.
The whole lot will be up in the near future, so stay tuned.

That's so awesome. Hopefully once I'm done with school and have some money, my boyfriend and I will be taking a trip to Australia. We went to hawaii a few years back and I couldn't get him in the water past his waist.
I told him that if we go he is being forced to go snokelling. You can't go to the Australia and not go snorkelling/diving at the Great Barrier.
Thats almost as bad as our friend in Hawaii that keeps a black sheet over his windows.
Anyways!! Great photos!

A surface feeding wrasse.
That first picture shows a lagoon-like area. Did you visit that area? It looks like a wonderful place.
The second picture has a tree growing upside down. Or did the wind do that?
The last one is a wrasse?! How big would you say it is? I love the stunning colors even through the rippled water.
Thank you again for updating this thread often.

The lagoon shown in the 1st photo is a great spot, just watch for the sharks at night
I never even noticed the tree upside down! Mustn't have been anything spectacular.
That is indeed a wrasse in the last photo. It was about 40-50cm long, and quite thick. It is pretty amazing to see those colours through the water surface, they all caome to the beach and get fed bread twice a day.
I'll put up the rest of the photos soon.
If anyone ever has the chance to visit Lord Howe, i very strongly recommend you go! It's the southern most reef in the world, and has a unique biotope and mix of species.
JokerGirl:
You'll LOVE australia if you make it down here. Maybe that boyfriend of yours needs a push in the right direction
The whole thing with people being afraid of the ocean or never going swimming is so strange to me. I practically grew up underwater, it's my second home down there.
