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.
Eastern Stargazer photographed at Portsea Pier in January 2003 - one of my favourites.
Nudibranch photo taken at Merimbula - underwater.com.au's guess, this is Pteraeolidia ianthina - agreeed?

The Lena was a captured Pirate Patagonian tooth fishing vessel proccured by the Bunbury Chamber of Commerce and prepared for scuttling by a huge array of people and organizations. Sitting in almost 18m of water, 5km off shore, it makes for a very interesting and safe dive. Vigorous growth addorns most of the boat already and the marine life is rushing in for prime real estate, there is even a large Baldchin Groper that can be seen regularly.

Though this picture was petty special but looks like they are everywhere. Third picture on this gallery I think. Was taken Finders reef, Moreton off Brisbane. Thought it was a bit of soft coral at first, amazing - Cannon S 40

Day two of PADI Open Water course. Diving the Lena, Australia's latest recreational dive wreck recently scuttled off Bunbury. If you go poaching Patagonian Toothfish in Aussie waters, this could be your boat too!
