Recount of a trip to Eastern Fields, and into Australian economic zone waters aboard the Golden Dawn last winter. Took a bit long to get it published, salt mine duties intervened, and also needed to let the memories ferment for a bit to develop the necessary flavors. Interested to compare notes with others who have visited Ashmore & Boot.

Cheers!

Wish I could see it. Apparently one needs a google account to view it. I clicked on to get one and it went nowhere.

NJ, Why not put it somwhere more accesible? I would also like to see it.

cheers

Mmmm - just the mention of the Eastern Fields get my attention. Carl's is my absolute favourite dive ever - on our expedition this past January we did over 30 dives with out shifting the boat.
Interesting observation from that expedition was No Sharks which had not been my experience on a number of expeditions albeit a few years ago , makes me think the longliners / finning operations have been through the area.

Have not been to Portlock or Ashmore for a few years now - hope it is still sharky.

Let's go.

Sorry, forgot to share after publishing... plz try again

Great report!! The images really conveyed a sense of the place...thanks.

Thank's for the report. Very nicely put together and some good images there.

cheers

It breaks my heart to hear about the fishermen at EF....we were last there Christmas, 2006 and saw fabulous reefs & lots of fish EVERYWHERE!
Photos are fabulous and bring back lots of great memories...thanks for the comprehensive report
