An eclectic collection of fishing stories and related poetry from Australia. Adventurous stories about the great white shark of Seal Rocks Victoria, to the cunning blackfish and prawns that live in the Davistown baths of New South Wales. All the stories have an associated poem, written as a response to the adventure. Real life stories of fun, drama and a few embarrassing moments. Most stories were the direct experience of the author. The associated poetic reflections have a strong spiritual connection with God and country. These reflections generally concentrate on the Author's boyhood experience. The Author's passion is to preserve the environment by campaigning for a closed season on snapper fishing. To be introduced when they are laying their eggs in the spring time to avoid extinction. The author hopes that the reader will be motivated to care for snapper and experience the bird song at dawn. Fishing is a great way of recharging the brain after a hard day's work. I believe all fishermen are destined to be great mates for life. So I hope you smile when reading this booklet. I have enjoyed recording my memoirs for the grandchildren. So Fish On Australia.
