Fish Attack New Caledonia Blue River Prony
新喀里多尼亚

The fresh water fish in this wonderful swimming hole on the NC-GR1 walking track in New Caledonia are extremely forward. There are two species in the sphere image; Kuhlia rupestris is the larger one, and a really big fish is 15-25 cm long. The smaller, silver fish is Kuhlia munda (silvery with the yellow and black tail) and they are mostly 3 to 8 cm long. Trekkers and swimmers who stop by this pool commonly treat the fish to some crumbs from their lunch and once the fish are sure you are not one of those awful homminds that try to spear or hook them (despite their small size) they know no fear. 

When the weather is roasting hot in the summertime, Freddy and I hike up to what we call the Olympic Pool to do some laps, cool off, and take photos. The deep swimmable part of the Olympic Pool waterhole is 70 meters long, the water is nice and clear and cool. After a heavy rain you can swim into the current and, where the pool is narrow, the current is strong enough that you can swim in place till your arms drop off. 

After we go swimming I pay tribute to the owners of the pool by giving them some of my after-swimming crunchy granola bar. So the fish know us and when I emerge from the water to dry off after swimming the little guys line up along the rocky shoreline looking very expectant and polite. Toss a few crumbs in and the water explodes with enthusiastic fish attacking the crumbs even before they hit the water. It's great fun and they usually get more of my crunchy bar than I do. 

They know us so well that when I stop swimming to take a rest they come swarming around, inches from my goggles (or my GoPro Hero3 that I used to take this sphere image). And if I forget to bring along a crunchy bar, the next time we come, the little monsters sneak up behind me and tug on my body hair; hard enough to get the message across.

More About 新喀里多尼亚

新喀里多尼亚是离澳大利亚和新西兰最近的南太平洋岛屿。该岛是法国领地且官方语言是法语,尽管如此,其文化却丰富多彩,揉合了美拉尼西亚、欧洲、波利尼西亚、越南、中国、印尼等国的风情。这里有一个多山的大岛,称为大地岛 (Grande Terre),和6个较小的岛屿——洛亚蒂三岛 (Loyalty Islands)、贝莱普群岛 (Belep) 和松树岛 (Isle of Pines)。 整个群岛人口极为稀少,有大片的荒野。这里有数百公里长的徒步小径、随处可见的露营营地、超过42个公园和保护区、清澈透明的河流和莹莹闪光的瀑布。约三分之一的人口居住在首府努美阿。镍的开采是该国最主要的工业,也是维持其高标准生活的主要经济来源。大地岛四周环绕着世界第二大珊瑚礁,此珊瑚礁形成的泻湖是世界上最大的,也是受保护的泻湖。该泻湖于2008年被列为世界遗产,面积达24000平方公里,是品种丰富的鱼类和无脊椎动物栖息之地。 对于刚上岛的游客而言,最引人注目的是这里鲜艳夺目的色彩。努美阿以其完备的酒店、度假酒店、餐馆设施和丰富多彩的活动欢迎游客的到来。
