Station #3 - Ethel Beach
Paddy Terry Louisette & I drove to Ethel Beach & snorkelled off the shore. The road now extends right down to Lily Beach with a vehicle track leaving just before the beach to head W to Ethel Beach through the forest (low level) [small sketch map]. The intertidal platform is about 4-5m wide and then the bottom shelves very slowly to about 4m & then descends abruptly. Much of the bottom off the beach is covered by exclusive beds of once luxuriant but now dead Acropora - now covered by filamentous brown algae. Near the Point (Low Point?) just W of Lily Beach the spur & groove formation becomes strong & there are wide areas of sand at the mouths of the grooves. Arca sp intertidal & deeper burrowing in rock; Barbatia ?helblingii?; Septifer; Isognomon ?perna (RV c brown lines); pectinid (?Annachlamys or Decatapectus - under stone - reef flat); Hyotissa; Chama; Trapezium bicarinatum; Periglypta white ?P.; Very large Octopus seen in cavity among dead coral - no sign of dead shells ? crab - eaten.; Haliotis; Notomella; Turbo lajonkairii; Astraea; Acmeids 1 or 2 - low intertidal (x marking) homing; pectinid (? Annachlamys - under stone; Ellobiid (yellow) dead on reef; Siphonarians (2 spp?); very small molluscs (?Stomatiinae) in weed washings.

Station#5 Waterfall (dive time 3/4 hour 10.15am)
sheltered cove facing E, shallow slope to about 15m & then drop-off to about 30m or slightly more & then more gradually sloping [sketch of slope drop]. Loisette & I dived onto area at about 12m depth, followed slope to dropoff & went down to about 25m. Then worked along at about that depth or less for 10 minutes & then started to come up slope gradually. When we were at about 12m Paddy free-dived to tell us to come up as Terry was ill. [Discussion of trip to hospital and Terry's recovery]. Collected dead land snails along roadside. [Visited Terry in hospital].

Station#11

On the way back we did quick snorkel dives at a number of spots along the north coast eg Lost Lake Cove, off Rhoda beach headland, off Daniel Rouse Cove etc. Paddy drew profiles at each spot the rest of us had a look & collected a little - I collected algae & a few corals, hydrozoans etc. (photos of cliffs etc). Arrived back at Cove at 1.30 - had lunch on waterfront & came up to house after going to bank & withdrawing $100 advance on Bankcard. [Processed specimens, gave talk, dinner etc]
Thursday 19-ii-1987
Organised (as is becoming usual) for boat launching at 8.30. Andrew again skippered the Police Rescue craft. Paddy, Gerry, Clay, Loisette & I formed the diving party. Fred & Gary went elsewhere. Because the wind was from the South East we went around to the west side of the island & thence to the western side of Smithson's Bight. A strong swell from the SW made diving in Smithsons Bight impossible but Gerry & Paddy went in for a snorkel just NE of Jpones Point and we then went back around Egeria Point to dive.
Station#12
Just N of Egeria Point 11-12.30. c Loisette (& Paddy for part of time) 1 1/2 hrs. 3-25m. Gentle slpe to about 15m & then abrupt drop off (seeming to have a more gentle scree slope below about 35m). good coral growth on drop of - many colonies of gorgonians - some quite large and plenty of eels which lurked in every available crevise & depression - quite off-putting! One came out & bit my hand as I was reaching for some hydroids near its lair. I have up after that & came up above the drop-off (as did the others). Above the drop off there were rocky reefs interected by channels with sand & boulder floors. Very few slabs of dead plate Acropora to turn over - the boulders were of coal rock of old massive corals & were rounded.
