06/09/2005: "BIG LOBSTER at Seal Rocks"

Ron Ford with a 7kg lobster he caught off Sugarloaf Point lighthouse. This is the first beach visitors see upon arrival. A holiday camping ground is opposite. People once camped on the actual beachfront in tents. Squatters shacks were in the bush too but gradually they were removed by authorities.

Big lobster like this are now protected and have to be returned to the sea as they are the key breeding stock.
