I'm afraid to ask how you had the.. you must have some large thunder from down under to manage to shoo the ocotopus into a bucket for a photo, I would be running away from it crying!
I have heard about the large tides but I don't think I can really imagine it without standing there to see.
Strangely your area looks like where I grew up on the south west coast of Florida, USA, at a glance. I was looking at the vegitation and the rock and coral since you're so much closer to the equator and its a whole different world. I love studying the details of a place thank you so much for showing the pictures that you did.
So did you find the angel stuck in a tidepool or was he just extremely friendly? That is really cool!
