Scary. But no where near as dangerous as some of the "Red Ringed Homos" we have on the South side here in Sydney. They are all over Botany Bay...they seem to gather in huge packs at dolls point and Kurnell...

Just as you are pumping up your kite, they approach from behind and "whack" you have been stung...

Just to be safe, always kite on the Northside of the bridge...where the girls are gorgeous, the water is clean, the kiters and surfers are legendary and there is no sign of the dreaded South side "Red Ringed Homo"...

Haha, at the time i was more scared about facing the wife after i'd lost my wedding ring in the rocks. Reckon those red ringed homos would be even scarier again though

Where was the stone fish? Which beach? heres one i found last winter at the spit at scarborough.

i got a blue ringed sea monster in my pants

Lots of blue ringed octopus living all along the front of Redcliffe Peninsular, just walk (with shoes) around the shallows at low tide. Scarbs is particularly bad for stonefish, rays and cone shells, booties almost a must though won't really protect you.
One of the windsurfer spotted a shark off Queens point the other day so I guess our friend is back, hope he is fed.
