Aussie’s unique marine life

Isolated from the other continents for millions of years, Australia’s wildlife has developed in isolation to be unique.

The same is true for the country’s marine life, with the seas around Australia home to a wonderful variety of endemic species.

Divers encounter aggregations of giant cuttlefish, highly camouflaged leafy seadragons, bizarre pineapplefish, creepy frogfish, carpet-like wobbegongs and many more fascinating marine creatures.

To see these amazing creatures and more come along to Friday Environment Forum on 2 September when Brisbane-based Nigel Marsh, an underwater photographer and photojournalist will share his underwater world.

When not diving or travelling, Nigel teaches underwater photography and leads special photography tours to exotic dive destinations.

Everyone is welcome at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville on September 2. The forum starts at 10:30am and morning tea is available at 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by tap and go at the door and includes morning tea/coffee. Organisers ask that masks are worn to protect the vulnerable in the audience.

More information is available at noosaparks.org.au/friday-environment-forum/

Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the carpark for interpretive birding.
