A guide, a tribute, and a hardcover book to proudly leave on your coffee table—Rock Pools Sydney is a visual journey through more than 30 of Sydney’s ocean pools, stretching from Palm Beach to Cronulla. This new edition features over 130 photographs, including more than 30 new images, and a refreshed cover showcasing Bondi Icebergs.
Blending photography by Vincent Rommelaere and words by travel writer Amanda Woods, it celebrates both the natural beauty and the community spirit of these coastal landmarks. It also includes seven interviews with people who share a special connection to the pools, including Olympic swimmer Bronte Campbell, Meree Duncan on the legacy of McIver’s Ladies Baths, the Buckettes—morning swimmers at Mona Vale, sculptor Helen Leete who created the Oceanides at Fairy Bower, and architect Nicole Larkin, founder of The Wild Edge project.
Whether you’re planning your next swim or just want to be transported to the edge of the sea, this book invites you to dive in.
Full of beautiful photos and some interesting words about all of Sydney’s remarkable ocean pools. Great for a visitor the flick through.
Delivered promptly and a small issue I had was resolved quickly by Vincent himself.
I bought this for my husband as inspiration. He now wants to visit Sydney and swim in all the pools. A beautifully photographed and written book. An absolute keeper that will have pride of place in our library for many years.
Hi there!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Nyree! So good to hear! Happy swimming!

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+++
