It was around 300cm long, that is why I thought a Giant Mudskipper.

Hi @DougT
I would estimate around or just over a metre long if straight.

Hey @JimL , how big do you think this was? More or less than 1m? It is almost certainly Anguilla australis, but there's a remote chance it could be Anguilla dieffenbachii. The latter is endemic to New Zealand, but is known to migrate to pacific islands to breed, and given that Port Arthur is as close as Australia gets to New Zealand, I don't think we can rule it out.
