I had a lovely morning watching the Australian Fur Seals 'fly' under the waves at Barunguba (Montague Island).

I found a reference on a website to Montague having both Aust and NZ fur seals present, but this one certainly seems to have the blunter muzzle and lack of a pronounced forehead said in my field guide to indicate the Aust one.
