28/02/2006: "Seal Rocks .......eastern rock lobster"

Pictured at left: Christine Danaher and Dennis Kemp set these lobster free after this photo session in 1988.

Pictured at right: Ron Taylor in 1964 at the first beach with his Quintrex boat, when catching a big crayfish was still a grand prize for all divers.

Footnote: Decades later big lobster became a protected species when they were eventually known to be the lobsters doing the breeding - always a theroy by diver Vic 'snowie' Ley but unfortunately for the lobster, falling mostly on deaf listeners.
