AUSTRALIAN BASS
Percolated Colonorum (Gunther)
Australian Bass are fresh water fish found in coastal streams from
Queensland to Victoria. They became an endangered species in the late
1980's. The Bass Bash, a catch and release fishing competition held annually
in Bulahdelah since 1991, raises funds to restock the Bass in the Myall River
and protect them for future generation to enjoy.
