Dean Lewins: The Catch

'We want to keep our dirt road and keep development out'. Thats what's written on a hand painted sign on the road to Seal Rocks.

In the small village of Seal Rocks on Australia's east coast the local fisherman want to retain there 1940's style way of life.

They fish with nets directly off the beach, rowing their small timber boats out to drop the nets and then with the aid of an old rusting tractor pull their catch onto the sand where visitors and locals help clear the nets and sort the fish for sale at the Sydney Fish Markets.
