Spotted wobbegong shark
(Orectolobus maculatus)
The spotted wobbegongs around Julian Rocks are all around the three meter mark and look quite impressive when they swim straight towards you.

Just like all wobbegongs it is able to turn around in a split second and bite the diver that touched its tail......
