Details

Entered at the bay around the corner from the flagpoles and headed south east towards The Steps. Went to the area where "Honey" and "Trevor" are normally found and could find neither of them. Peter found "Lisa" on sponges on a rock adjacent to where we normally see "Trevor". She's moved 50 or so metres south east since we last saw her in February.

After searching the area for "Honey" and "Trevor" (and after Peter found an adult weedy seadragon) we headed back towards The Monument. At the split rock we found "Fernando" but no "Kimi" (and we now knew where "Lisa" was).

We next did a detailed search to the north west mainly looking for seahorses, either "Kimi" or new individuals. Part way around the corner we found a new male, "Jaques". We searched the immediate area in case there was more than one but didn't find any others.

We continued around the corner and exited near the beach.
