Shelly Beach

A tiny little beach



Banksia pod


Its called Shelly Beach but really should be Rocky Beach


Rock colours when wet


Chiton shell


And now, my first attempt at underwater species photography/id/snorkelling with a child:

Waratah Anemone Actinia tenebrosa
The stripey shells are Zebra Topshells Austrocochlea porcata
The bumpy shell upper centre is Mulberry Shell Morula marginalba


Probably a Scad Trachurus sp.


Heres a very common Smooth Toadfish Tetractenos glaber 






Neptunes Necklace Hormosira banksii
