Scientists aboard the research vessel, Southern Surveyor, return to Hobart today with a collection of coral samples and photographs taken in the Southern Ocean at greater depths than ever before.
Using a remotely operated submersible vehicle the international research team captured images of life found on deep-sea pinnacles and valleys up to three kilometres beneath the Ocean’s surface.

Horse-powered farming returns to Tasmania
Horse-powered farming is experiencing a rebirth in Tasmania, according to Rural Online, ABC, and the price of fuel may have something to do with it.
A heavy horse association has just been formed to help share the dwindling knowledge of how to train and work horses on farms.
More than 100 people turned out to the association’s first field day at Kindred on July 17.
Field day host, Brad Saunders, says people are interested in keeping heavy horses for a number of uses, not just farm work.
Brad says he uses his Clydesdales for 80 per cent of his farm work.
