11/01/2007: "SUMMER HOLIDAY PICTURE ..... Fisherman's wharf"
Swedish ladies are pictured on holiday at Wooli (New South Wales) circa 1986 We filmed them underwater with 16mm enjoying themselves in the shallow warm water after this still was taken.
Gidday John,
"All the best for the New Year. I'm looking forward to another year of your
site. It's a ritual every morning now when I log on to my computer at work.
The first thing I do is go to your site and check for new entries.
I'm really disappointed when you have missed a day or two, but by the same token
if I've been away for a few days it's great when I log on and there is aheap of new stuff.
Had a couple of swims with a speargun on Sunday up at Thomas Island (bottom
of Whitsundays). Visibility poor (big tide), no fish and actually not a lot
of life at all.
All the hard corals covered with weed and algae. I think
years of fertilizer, super-phostphates and chemicals-glysophates from Cane
farm runoff has taken it's toll.
I think our generation has seen it as good as it ever will be. I take my
two sons (7 & 9 year olds) snorkelling with me and they think that the weed
and algae are the norm.
I intend to take them out to the wider reefs early in the year and show them some reef as it should be or used to be.
Anyway have a great year and keep up the good work.
Keep posting the Wally (Muller), Coralita, Careelah, Riversong stuff coming as well as those gorgeous girls from years gone by.
