New Fishing Topic

In recognition of all who love to do a bit of fishing when on holidays, ExplorOz has embraced Fishing and Boating as part of our new content focus. Just published today, you'll find this new Topic along with 7 new articles. We've started with the Fishing Rules in each state - touching on protected and threatened species, bag and possession limits, size limits, and fishing closures, with links for purchasing licences where necessary.
