You are right! A bunch of us actually dived at Inscription Point a few days ago and encountered a female WSD. What a beautiful animal. You may be surprised to hear that the standard name of the species has been changed to common seadragon, but I think it will be quite some time before the name is taken up by the diving community. There is a bunch more information on the species at http://www.australianmuseum.net.au/Weedy-Seadragon-Phyllopteryx-taeniolatus/.

The Rip is the name given to that renowned stretch of water at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, separating Points Lonsdale and Nepean. This area can be one of the most dangerous stretches of water on our continent, but at times can be so peaceful and calm that one could not envisage the hundreds of ships which have been lost in its vicinity.
