Ocean Discovery


By Eric

Today we snorkeled at Fly Point in Nelson Bay. We saw Cuttle Fish, Sea Cucumbers, snappers and lots of fish. We even fed some of them! But the most exciting thing was when Dad, Hannah and I discovered this Green Sea Turtle! It was 3 metres down and eating kelp. We followed it and swam with it for a long time! It was about 1 metre long. It looked healthy but I could see a few barnacles on it. It felt like the movie “Finding Nemo” because we are heading to Sydney too. Luckily we have an underwater camera case and this is how we got these cool pictures and a movie.

  5. Like, dude, that turtle was totally awesome. Right on. I knew a bro like him named Crush - did you see him, too? If you see him, give him some flipper from the J-Rich. Awesome video.

  6. Great blog..I guess you are happy to be home to the snow and cold temperatures at last. You missed the Australian cyclone with 200 mph winds and flooding. 100 degrees here in Ashley yesterday and lots of rain today.
    Hope you enjoyed all the Aussie animals and fish.
