Re box jelly fish - we were paddling near Manly beach and its the middle of winter here, the water temperature was probably about 15 celsius, when what do we see but a yellow bellied black sea snake - skinny as a rake and searching desperately for food. I empathised immediately and we arranged for the local aquarium to take it away for some TLC. But has anyone ever heard of such a snake finding its way to such cold water? We called it "FC" because it was the identical color scheme for a Feathercraft which my mate Craig was paddling. And by the way you had me worried with the title of your last few entries "My Last Post" glad to see it wasn't true!
