Sothern end of Barwon banks
Reef·Queensland·Australia·
Field notes
Southern tip of the Barwon Banks in 60-80m where the reef tapers into broken ground. Snapper, pearl perch and amberjack are reliable year-round, with spanish mackerel and cobia working the top through summer. Often less crowded than the top end.
