Deep in the cold clear waters off the Southern Australian coast is a strange but true, real live downunder underwater wonder.


Deep down under, in the cold, clear waters off the southern Australian Coast, is a strange but wonderful dragon, unlike any other in the world. No one even knows it's there, but the world would be a terrible place without it. In this magical underwater tale, a very observant onlooker discovers a hidden dragon, and the last great seacret, hidden by the smallest dragon of all. It's all about the value of imagination and creativity.

Unique to the waters of the southern Australia, the Weedy Seadragon (Phyllopterix taeniolatus) and its cousin the Leafy Seadragon (Phycodurus eques) are truly remarkable creatures.

This is part of a charming and very different series of Australiana. Illustrations are rich and the story is gentle and inspiring.

Maree Coote

One of the very first to identify the contemporary rise of Melbourne’s cultural and place power, Maree Coote has won The Royal Historical Society of Victoria’s Gold Prize for ‘The Art of Being Melbourne’. Her unique command of history, culture, art and design is made accessible for a wide variety of audiences, including children.

Coote was the first to create a children’s picture book for Melbourne kids, ‘When You Go To Melbourne’. According to Philip Adams, “Melbourne never had a more ingenious ambassador.” Coote’s first book The Melbourne Book: A History of Now is in its fourth edition after 12+ years in print, and has been dubbed ‘Melbourne’s Bible’.
