The Great Southern Reef (GSR) in Australia, is a series of temperate, rocky reefs and undulating kelp forests. It extends about 5,000 miles (8000 kilometers) from the New South Wales and Queensland border, around the southern coast of Australia through to Kalbarri in Western Australia.
The weedy seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus), calls the GSR home. It’s a creature from a fantasy novel, with orange and red color, and yellow and purple accents. It has kelp-like appendages and is peppered with dots and splotches unique to each one.
