Re: Interesting read about sharks

Thanks Steve it was interesting. I’ve been interested in sharks since I started spearfishing at the age of 12.
I’ve seen a few while in the water and am fascinated by them.

Re: Who is that online store?

Talking about overheads! I went into BCF in Bairnsdale yesterday hoping to see a 10’ light beach rod only to find they are all mounted on top of their display cases with the mounts holding them being at least 6’ high. I tried walking around to see something that might be of interest and nearly fell ...

Re: Sharks in PPB

They've always been there it’s just that we are looking for them this time of year now. I saw a decent Bronzie in the shallows while spearfishing off Olivers Point one day. It took off in the blink of an eye! Beautiful looking shark with the sun lighting up its body. There have been a few deaths in ...

Anniversary Sarsfield Bushrires.

It was this day last year when dreadful fires roared through our sleepy hamlet of Sarsfield. 49% of homes there were lost and fire affected 79% of the Sarsfield landscape. We were lucky not to lose our main house, though it was badly damaged and took 9 months to repair, but we could live in it thank...

Re: Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year

Seasons greetings and best wishes to you all and may next year be a better year than this one was.

Santa came early to me, in fact I had to go in and pick my present up! It wouldn’t fit down the chimney....a new (used) car!
Am I a lucky boy or what?
