Whooops! I wondered why the customs man looked so strangely at the rather
large Charonia tritonis that I had bought on the quayside while in Tonga
last year. :-))))))) We were only there for a few hours being on a cruise.
We did have a quick look around the beach at one site but didn't find much.
Didn't snorkel either because the surf was to high.

Dear Harold
I think you will find collecting is totally banned in Tonga by royal decree.
Where in Australia are you going?
Regards
Geoff
