Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It's about the same size as the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world - only two people per square kilometre.

Grey Nurse Shark taken at Cod Grounds of Laurieton, NSW.

This shot was taken near the bubble cave on the western side of North Solitary Island. The fish is obviously a red rock cod I'm not sure what species of nudibranch (maybe a member of the family elysiidae or stiligeridae?). If you're that small you want to be pretty sure you're not on the menu before wondering around on a fishes upper lip!
