Great adventure Barry - nice set of images. I got a surprise one day wading Avenel creek near Seymour Vic - came across a large Black snake foraging in the weed beds. The amazing thing was that it made it's way under water to the other side of the creek.
No, it wasn't an Eel! And there are no water snakes down this way that I know of. I've spent a lot of time on the water fly fishing in days gone by, and I know the difference. In Gin clear water the scales and red underbelly were evident.
I saw a pair of Eels one day along Deep Creek near Melbourne. Heads out of the water snapping up summer hoppers perched on the bank.
Times when you need a camera.
