From the world famous Bondi Icebergs to lesser known gems including Manly’s Fairy Bower, Rock Pools of Sydney is a visual journey through the eyes of photographer Vincent Rommelaere of Australia Unseen.
Stretching from Palm Beach down to South Cronulla, there are more than 30 rock pools to explore. As well as diving into their history, the book shares some of the stories of the people who love them.
Interviews include Olympic gold medallist Bronte Campbell, who trained in the Bondi Icebergs and Bronte Rock Pool before the Tokyo 2020 Games, Meree Duncan, whose grandparents Robert and Rose McIver will forever be linked to the McIver’s Ladies Baths in Coogee, and The Buckettes, a group of women whose friendship has been forged through morning swims at the Mona Vale Rock Pool.
With words by travel writer Amanda Woods, Rock Pools of Sydney will take you back to the pools that you know and love and inspire you to splash into spectacular new spots along the Sydney coastline.
We recently bought 2 of Australia Unseen’s books. We chose One Hundred Beaches and Rock Pools of Sydney. As new comers to Sydney they are the perfect compliment to our coffee table but also a great source of reference and easy access to memories of all the cool beaches/rock pools we visit in our new Magic city! Vincent was amazing to deal with as well. We had an initial courier problem of which he sorted promptly. Our next purchase will be one of his prints for the lounge!
We are planning on displaying this book on our coffee table back in the USA. It’s a great conversation starter with the glorious photos. It’s also fun to tick off the pools we have visited around Sydney.
I was very pleased with the photography, design and production quality of these books. Some stunning views of my local beaches and rockpools. Highly recommended. A+++
I took my partner’s sister on the Coogee to Bondi walk in November last year where she could experience some Sydney rock pools. She loved them. I purchased this book and sent it on to her so she can flick through the gorgeous photos during the cold Boston winter. It’s still in transit but from my quick look through the book, the photography was exquisite and just reinforces my deep appreciation of the Sydney life style.
Having grown up at Narrabeen we have the privilege of having one of the most beautiful pools. This book captures this love and has pride of place.
