Julian Rocks Nguthungulli Nature Reserve

Early morning snorkelling trip to Julian Rocks which is an important site for the Bundjalung nation.

"There are several important Dreaming stories associated with Julian Rocks.
In one story, Nguthungulli, Father of the World, who created all the land and the waters, the animals and plants, now rests in a cave at Julian Rocks. The Elders have instructed over the generations that Nguthungulli must be protected from any misuse or it will cause destruction."

Star of the show? The leopard sharks. But I'm very fond of triggerfish, so great to see a wedgetail. It's just great to be in the water surrounded by fish ... love it! Also saw a wobbegong, but it's so well camouflaged I can't find it in my pics.

So other than the obvious, the pics are a load (technical term) of common sergeants; leopard shark; wedgetail triggerfish; crested morwong; mingling with the blackfish 😎

Oh, and I did find Dory 😆

Thanks to Byron Bay Dive Centre for the great trip, and www.julianrocks.net for help with identification!Read more
