STONEFISH sit too deep to worry about –<br />
except if you are a Dredge. One GIANT closed<br />
ours for 3 hours. It got caught in the suction section.<br />
Periodic Dangers -<br />
• Whilst we have many sea creatures we<br />
feel privileged to have in our harbour –<br />
• SOME visitors are NOT the ‘welcome welcome kind’ kind<br />
We <strong>of</strong>ten have Bull Sharks, & on occasions<br />
a large Bronze Whaler appears plus other<br />
sharks.<br />
• Maybe worse is the Moreton Bay Box Jelly,<br />
(Morbakka Morbakka or Fire Jelly ‘Tamoya Tamoya virulenta’) virulenta )<br />
(the Warts on the Bell holds the sting).<br />
These appear between Nov-Jan Nov Jan BEWARE !<br />
17
Pets must be on a leash! Jokes aside<br />
Similar size shark to our visiting one<br />
Moreton Bay Box Jelly (Morbakka ( Morbakka)<br />
• They have a wide translucent Bell 6-18cm 6 18cm<br />
with a pink/green tentacle on each corner.<br />
Pinkish warts on the bell carry the stinging<br />
cells. The tentacles are more than 1 metre.<br />
If stung skin looks & feels it is on fire, with<br />
raised white weals & red flare. Low back pain<br />
muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, headache<br />
& ‘a a feeling <strong>of</strong> doom’. doom . Douse with vinegar,<br />
use cold packs or ice in cloth 5-25 5 25 mins. If<br />
this fails, seek medical attention. They<br />
appear between Nov & Jan / not every year.<br />

Moreton Bay Box Jelly Fish BEWARE<br />
Manly <strong>Marinas</strong> Inc – Bird Roost &<br />
Dredged Materials Area<br />
• Many years ago, following on an EPA<br />
suggestion, the Manly <strong>Marinas</strong> built and<br />
still inspect & maintain these two areas.<br />
Peter Driscoll signed <strong>of</strong>f on the original<br />
drawings <strong>of</strong> the Roost & when built the<br />
birds approved. We can swamp the birds’ birds<br />
island for five days and the grasses die so<br />
the birds feel safe. They have hideaways<br />
in the bamboo too.<br />
