Hornsby is one of the most unusual areas for marine life in Sydney. It is surprising just how much marine life heads inland away from the coast. We were amazed by what we encountered in Hornsby - everything from Pufferfish to tropicals.

Some consider cephalopods to be the smartest of all invertebrates. Something that you may not know is that cephalopods are colour blind. This may impress you, considering the skilled texture alterations and colour camouflage techniques of resident Sydney cephalopods. Octopi are all born with their feet attached to their heads. Even their Class name refers to their awesome evolutionary trait – ‘Cephalopod’ literally translates to ‘head-foot’.
