This book contains information on most if not all species of marine life in Australia particualy, southern Australia. It contains all the phylum genus and species information as well as location and size. A very good referrence book for anyone interested in Australian Marine life.

Australias marine life is known world wide for it`s great diversity on the barrier reef. But how many knows that a colourfull fauna also exists in the temperate waters of the south. When I bought this book,many species were new to me,something that made it very interesting. It is a huge book of more than 500 pages and 1200 photographs,so it is detailed,but the photos are very beautifull. There is a detailed text about every species and all information you need to know is here. In this book you`ll find everything from small algae to great white sharks. The fishes are amazingly colourfull,and so are the invertebrates. It is also pretty cheap (I bought it in London for £ 25.95. )for beeing so detailed and rich of information. If you want to see some new species and are tired of all the tropical,try this. I`m sure no one will read this book without learning something new. A real treasure.
