THE ANGLER IN AUSTRALIA. 
Few countries in the world offer votaries of 
Izaak Walton such unlimited piscatorial sport 
as is to be found in Queensland. And there is 
practically no limit, too, to the variety of the 
species of tlie finny tribe. Not only do inex¬ 
haustible shoals of fishes exist all along the 
3,000 miles of coast line, but all the tidal and 
freshwater rivers and creeks throughout the 
length and breadth of the State team with 
them as well. In the rivers and creeks on the 
Darling Downs, Murray cod, golden perch, 
bream, dew and rainbow trout abound, and 
large hauls are frequently made by wielders 
of the hand line and rod and tackle. At the 
different seaside resorts in the Brisbane dis¬ 
trict there are to be found enormous quanti¬ 
ties of whiting, flathead, taylor, bream, squire, 
garfish, rock cod, mullet, eels, etc., while out 
at sea schnapper, king, parrot, groper, sea 
perch, cod, mackerel, dugong, flounder, sole, 
etc., are caught in large numbers. The Cen¬ 
tral District is the habitat of the barraconta— 
a fish which attains fairly large proportions, 
its flesh being exceedingly pleasing to the pal¬ 
ate. The barramundi—another tothsome mor¬ 
sel—is found in the tidal streams from IMary- 
borough up to Thursday Island, thence round 
to the Gulf of Carpentaria. This tish, which 
is also known in some parts of Queensland as 
the Palmer, is of decent size, and one usually 
provides a dainty meal for a small family. To 
land this aenizen of the deep, the angler must 
needs use a minnow on his rod and tackle, 
and the sport provided, when barramundi are 
plentiful, is of the most e.xciting nature. 
The rivers and creeks of North Queensland 
are simply infested with crocodiles (the Nile 
variety) of huge size, and sport of a sensa¬ 
tional, not to say risky, character is furnished 
for fearless shootists and trappers. In the 
Rockhampton, Proserpine, Herbert River and 
IMossman districts a large number of saurians 
are either shot or trapped every year, and 
shipped dead or alive to the Southern States 
of the Commonwealth of Australia. 
In the far north of Queensland there is also 
a variety of the American alligator, and it is 
generally to be found in freshwater rivers and 
creeks. Unlike the crocodile it is not—at least 
so it is stated—a man-eater. For the enlight¬ 
enment of your readers (that is, if such is 
needed), I would point out the difference be¬ 
tween these two species of saurians. The 
teeth of the crocodile resemble a cross-cut 
saw ,to a great extent, and when the jaws are 
closed, the two sets lock together like a vise. 
The alligator, on the other hand, has long, 
fang-like grinders, which are fairly wide apart, 
in both jaws, and the mouth is much smaller.
