I decided to take a mask, snorkel and GoPro with me today on one of my bushwalks .
I was pretty excited to get to swim with this Longfin eel for some time giving me a great opportunity to get some cool footage.
The Longfinned Eel is found in freshwater rivers, streams, dams, lagoons and lakes on the coastal side of the Great Dividing Range, from Cape York in northern Queensland southwards through NSW into Victoria and Tasmania.
