Sunday 15th July 2007
Sunday's event was little beauty. We had the SeaLab in Redondo Beach to ourselves for a private party led by our event leader - our very own Shark Hunter. Well not really - he rescues all sorts of marine life and was recently on the news for SEALab's conservation efforts. 
He was nibbled by Rays, fed the fish fingers (his own) at the Halibut pool... and after a quick count, we were pleased to find none were missing , and he even wrangled sharks with his BARE HANDS! May I mention here that one of our members (who shall remain nameless) managed to get bitten by a horn shark, and even caught it on video! And when we say horn, we are not subscribing to the language of Kath and Kim. It really has horns.

After our private tour of the sea lab, feeding Halibut (spooky things that tango sideways), sharks and other sea creatures, we took to our kayaks and headed out to see the sea lions performing on a vacant pontoon in the bay. Besides the stink, they were fascinating to watch... barking, playing and sunning themselves. But you had to keep an eye out for the tour boats and the wake they left behind them. Waves seem like Tsunamis in a little kayak. Strangely, it was the Coast guard who conveniently floored it right next to us, that nearly put us head first into the drink.-766501.JPG)
Nothing quite like an afternoon out on the sea to work up an appetite, and strangely, we had developed a craving for seafood... But this was soon forgotten when we heard about the Aussie Pub down the road. We savoured (scoffed) the tastes of Four'N Twenty Pies and Sausage Rolls, and washed them down with Tooheys 'nectar'. A great end to a fabulous day.Our next event for Australians in Los Angeles, and Orange county is :
Friday July 20th - Aussie Movie night.
