One of the beautiful sites visited was the Salty Lagoon north of Evans Head. It took a walk of about 20 minutes to reach the lake, which is separated from the beach by dunes.

At this site we collected both the Shortfinned Eel and Longfinned Eel. Leave the fieldwork site to view the Longfinned Eel fact sheet.

The image shows Tony and Kerryn examining the fishes collected while Matt takes a breather.
