there was one Cape Gannet paired with an Australasian Gannet at Wedge
Light for
many years, but it has not been seen for 2 or 3 years now.
However there are Cape Gannets breeding on Lawrence Rocks off Portland,
don't know how many
because nobody has looked closely enough - I saw and photographed several
during
a brief visit in 1993.
Mainly for our South African friends...
Wedge Light is in the south of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Australia. The
city centre of Melbourne is just to the north of the bay.
See http://calcite.apana.org.au/portphillipbay/pope.html for an article on
the gannets with a map of Port Phillip Bay.
Portland is a town in western Victoria.
