I have seen a red belly black swimming around in a pool hunting young trout in Christies Creek which had largely stopped flowing.

Not that surprising really. The most common location for red bellies is around creeks.
Ever on the search for a one ended stick.

Many years ago I watched two red-bellied blacks swimming in a waterhole near Moruya. Felt like they were playing for about 20 minutes before they slithered off. Maybe a mating ritual?
