Mornington (Schnapper Point), 26th Aug 2006

Quotation from Boon (25th Aug 2006):
"Picture this 5000 years back. The men after supper going out to hunt for tommorrow's food. While the ladies stays home and take care of the young. So this is not a recreational night for the guys, its a night we go to work."

The hunt expedition started at around 9pm. One and a half hours later, the hunt was still fruitless. As hunger sets in at around 10:30pm, the five guys were forced to look for alternative food source ... KFC !!!
Surprise! Surprise!
At 11:43pm, I caught an ugly looking seastar on my handline baited with pipis. Could this seastar be a protective native species ... Coscinasterias muricata ?

Quoting something from my dad if he sees the starfish:
"should we stirfry or put it in soup?"

Also, one of the hunters went home and told the wife that she had to eat vegetable 'cos there was no catch.
By looking at your pix, while having no catch for the night, the hunters went to get KFC and the wives had to eat vegetable. Pretty sure this doesn't happen 5000 years ago....
