about 35 years ago i went to Tomaree Headland with a local bloke from Shoal Bay to go fishing, on the way we stopped at a fruit and vege shop and got a big bag of mushrooms that were past their sale date, when i questioned him about them he just winked and said he had a surprise for me, about 1/2 way around the Headland we climbed up through the rocks about 40 foot up into a large clearing where he tipped all the mushrooms out and pointed to a rock for us to sit on, we were only there about 5 minutes when the 1st big Land Mullet came out from under the bushes and headed str8 for the mushy's and over the next 15 min about 2 dozen more zoomed in on the free feed, i had never seen anything like it, some of them were huge and some were only juvies, the guy i was with said that 1 of their fave foods was wild mushies so whenever he went there fishing he always made sure he had a feed for them, it was an eye opener as up till then i had never seen a land mullet. I went back there about 20 years later whilst on holidays at Port Stephens to see if i see them again, could not find the same spot but found a clearing and dumped a bunch of mushies in it but it took like 30 minutes before we seen 1 and over the next hour only seen 1 more, a couple of lacie's had a bit of a look but it was quite dissapointing that was all we seen...20 years had made quite a difference to the population and even up till now the only other place i have seen any was The Australian Reptile Park at Sommersby........................................................................Ron
