Whiskered Weedie
by Kath
Not the best shot I've ever taken but we've never seen a Weedie with whiskers before. We saw this guy at Bare Island, NSW late last year. I've had a bit of a search and can't find much about whiskers on weedies, can anyone help me?
Sydney's' Pygmy Pipehorse
by Kath
Taken with Canon PowerShot A80 at Bare Island, NSW On the 27th Dec 2004. We had this little fellow pointed out to us by another diver. Instead of searching the net for 3 days to identify, all I had to do was watch the DVD I got for Xmas…"Beneath the Southern Seas"….Thanks Akos. Photocomp January '05 - Open
Wot U Want???

We thought we were really clever to keep finding seahorses every dive here….Until we were told by locals that where we find them is commonly known as "Seahorse Rock". Taken with Canon PowerShot A80 at Bare Island, NSW. Photocomp January '05 - Open
Eastern Frogfish
by Kath
Taken with Canon PowerShot A80 at Kurnell, NSW on the 26th Jan 2005. Yes, it's the same frog fish but I love it. These guys are so ugly that they're cute. As usual Kurnell supplies me with something new to me. Photocomp January '05 - Open
