No Fishing, Just Feeding The Fish in Darwin
Posted by jennifer, at 04:28 PM
There was some comment earlier today by Luke and Ann about feeding fish following my blog post on lungfish. Anyway, I was fascinated to learn last year that at Doctors Gully, Darwin, Australia, fishing is banned, but feeding is encouraged.
A friend feeds the fish:
My daughter Caroline feeds the fish:
The message on bottom sign in the following picture includes: "It has taken years to tame the fish. Please do not frighten them by grabbing, kicking or picking them up."
Fish that come to be fed include: milkfish, mullet, catfish, bream, barramundi, cod and mangrove jack.

Hi Jennifer,
A wonderful post. For your information , using live fish bait is now banned in Sweden(some anglers are angry with this decision unfortunately)
