UNDERWATER SYDNEY BOOK

By Inke Falkner and John Turnbull, CSIRO 2019

Celebrates Sydney’s harbour and coast through eclectic stories and underwater photography.
Admired all over the world and loved by locals for its natural beauty, Sydney Harbour is enjoyed by thousands of people every day. But rarely do we look below the surface where, beneath all the hustle and bustle, lively communities go about their business. With underwater forests and gardens, hundreds of species of fish and thousands of invertebrates, Sydney is as colourful and diverse below the water as it is above!
