Australian Bass 3
AUSTRALIAN BASS: An iconic, highly predatory native fish, and one of Australia’s most outstanding sports fish. Extremely popular with local anglers, Australian bass are strong, and fight hard. Although rare, they are most prolifically found in remote freshwater streams on the Sapphire Coast. Hand carved from Australian native hardwoods by Paul Buckland.
Australian Fur Seal 3
AUSTRALIAN FUR SEAL: Notoriously lazy and sun-loving, a common site on any boat trip along the Sapphire Coast. At the fishing villages in particular (Eden and Bermagui) seals can be found trawling the wharves and fish cleaning stations, waiting (not so patiently) for any scraps the fishermen are willing to part with.

Seahorse 1
SEAHORSE: Timid and beautiful, seahorses are often found clinging by their tails to the seagrass at Bar Beach, Merimbula. Seahorses are masters of camouflage and can quickly change colour to suit their environment, making them hard to spot, unless you know where to look.
