23/11/2006: "AUSTRALIAN SEAFARI 2 ..... Coral Sea destination"

(Top picture) When profits from our Australian Seafari film shows arrived, we began spending. A big filming trip to the Solomon Islands was a test with some new stills camera gear.

Then a new Zodiac and 30 HP Johnson outboard arrived.

Later the first micro Sony video camera – shown here at Lihou Reef in The Coral Sea, - the camera was almost useless professionally, it proved OK for recording other aspects of these assignments - the now rare interview with Captain Wally Muller.

Wally was guest-guide for this expedition aboard the Mackay-based charter boat Elizabeth E II.
