Bazza's Sinowatch is an Australian open-source intelligence publication focusing on Indo-Pacific security, military history, and military procurement.

After his death in 2001 the company was passed down to his son, Bruce Candlish, and then a director outside the family, but it still bear's Barry Candlish's nickname.
