Hi Neil,
the only other person I know of who has visited the area around the
OTML/Freeport site is Gerry Allen, and I am not sure he is on this list
any more. From memory his was a Freeport-facilitated trip and he saw a
slightly different picture than Heiko. He may have written something for
Fishes of Sahul on it, but I can't find it in any I have here.
Best regards, Andrew
