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.

Incredible flashbacks

Received my book here in Florida, quickly. I spent time over the weekend flipping through the pictures and enjoyed reading the stories thinking about my own awesome experiences with the great people and beaches of Australia. Ironically, I was approached by two gents from Sydney, Newport Beach, visiting Sarasota and we had a few cold ones.

Stunning Pictures captured in beautiful Books. Why stop at one….?

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!

'Rock Pools' and '100 Beaches'

I purchased 'Rock Pools' and '100 Beaches' as Thank You gifts for family when I recently stayed with them in Sydney. My visit was brief and the timeline for ordering and receiving delivery was very tight. Vincent was extremely helpful and quick to respond to my initial enquiry. The books arrived in good condition and are a real delight to leaf through, as the quality of the photography is excellent. It must have been a patient labour of love by Vincent to capture so many images all to the same high standard. The books were very well received and I am sure they will be enjoyed for many years to come.

Beautiful photography and well presented.

Beautiful photography and well presented. Makes for more than just a coffee table or bookshelf accessory. It’s a conversation piece for those who love Sydney, or those people getting to know Sydney and it’s wonderful beaches. Love it.

Will Inspire You To Plan A Trip To Sydney

Such a beautiful coffee table book. High quality, professional and aesthetic photographs by talented photographer Vincent Rommelaere, beautifully complemented by the narrative of Amanda Woods. Two talented creatives coming together to create a stunning book you will pick up again and again. This high quality book would make a stunning gift. Loved it so much I bought the second book Rock Pools Sydney, which is equally stunning.

Great coffee table reads

I am a frequent visitor to Sydney and love exploring the Eastern Suburbs beaches. These two books are great reminders of those beaches and rock pools frequented. I also love to read about those that are unfamiliar to me.

Rock Pools - Sydney

I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend who loves coffee table books and rock pools. The book is filled with amazing photography and insightful information, which has made planning trips around Sydney very easy. As expected the gift was very well received, and I would highly recommend to likeminded people

Knew about the Bondi ocean rock pool but not aware of the sheer number of these magnificent NSW assets. One suggestion for a Vic, a more detailed map of their location pls.

I came across this book in a doctor's surgery and

I came across this book in a doctor's surgery and when I saw it advertised on Facebook, I had to buy both. Love browsing through them. I especially was chuffed when I saw the photo of the triangle pool at Fairy Bower, its where I along with countless others of my era living on the Eastern Hill learnt to swim in the 60s and 70s by Phil McKeon who advertised as "Olympic Style Coaching". Now what about some photos of Harbour pools?. I'm sure there are plenty.

Sydney at its best

This book, like its sibling on Ocean Pools, is a marvelous advertisement for the best of Sydney. Beautiful photography punctuated with heart-warming tales. I have gifted it to family and friends just to remind the world how lucky we are to live in the Emerald City

Wedding Event

Ordered 70 books at short notice for my daughter’s wedding as gifts for overseas guest's! They were delivered promptly to the wedding planners who wrapped them up beautifully. Customer service was great and the books exceptional. Guests commented on the beauty of the photographs and also the very historical and informative content. Great products.

Great Book For The Coffee Table

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.

Beautiful book

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!

Beautiful Book

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.
