17/09/2005: "GIANT SPIDER LOBSTER......(eastern rock lobster)"

Peter Kemp found this beaut crayfish (now called rock lobster) while competing in a spear fishing comp at Norah Head. It would have weighed about 8 kg.

While it is an offense to take tiny lobsters, the same rule applies to large east coast lobsters!

The big ones are now protected. It was all so much more simple in the Happy Days of diving.
