Caption accompanying the photograph: "Re-shipping the net -- Ulladulla NSW 1959 - Nino Puglisi (left) and Joe Greco stow a haul net that has just harvested a fine catch of garfish in the shallows of Ulladulla harbour. These were and still are two of the best known family names in the area, which was once known to rival professional fishermen (in Bermagui and Eden) as "Australia's foreign port". in the 1950's, rivalries ran high and there were occasional skirmishes at sea, involving nets cut adrift, glass market buoys shot at and intentional near collisions at sea. "Old" Australian fisher families made generally unsubstantiated claims against the Italians related to "invasion" of traditional territories, "over-fishing" and "working too long and too hard." This last complaint was justified! The Puglisi and Greco families have intermarried with "old" fisher folk from Bermagui to Eden and inter-family rivalries are now forgotten".
