She has indulged me, yet again, by sending me that which I adore – to add to my collection: photographs of fish. I so love this photograph by Jenn Mayes. It is of a potato cod, my favourite of all the reef fish because they are so improbable and don’t know how to shut their mouths properly, with a very proper red emperor, of course. You can usually find that same red emperor always under that same arch at Wreck Beach Reef, Great Keppel Island. It doesn’t wander.
In this photograph you can also find a nudibranch, specifically a Chromodoris kuiteri. It is in the top right corner, on the arch above the fish. There are so many nudies at this dive site, and still so many fish, never mind the significant coral bleaching that Jenn has also captured in this photograph in the distance as coral that is now covered in brown algae. Hopefully, by next summer it will be a distant memory – the bleaching.

Finally judges are starting to get tough with these fanatics. It has been a long wait and in the mean time we have endured no end of inconvenience while the law appears to have indulged them. Of course the problem is that they are almost talking the same talk as the government, who are themselves inflicting pain and poverty on the people claiming it is for our own good.
