RON TAYLOR – AUSTRALIA’S WORLD SPEAR FISHING CHAMPION 1965
Ron Taylor won his world crown in Tahiti, 1965. After returning home this picture was taken at Montague Island off Narooma (New South Wales, south coast). It could have made a good Rolex advert had not water drops been on the lens port of the Rolleimarin housing. The Yellowtail Kingfish still exist but large fish are no longer common.
The speargun used in Tahiti is shown with Ron Taylor, in 1995 at his former Roseville residence, Sydney.
