Bazza's Sinowatch is an Australian open-source intelligence publication focusing on Indo-Pacific security, military history, and military procurement. It was founded by Major Barry "Bazza" Candlish, a veteran of the Pacific War who fought with the Australian 1st Parachute Battalion in the Philippines. 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.

While Bazza's Sinowatch maintains a print publication, one of its iconic products is a monthly subscription-based casette tape by mail service that covers prominent military news and military history and doctrine features readable by personal computers. As far as digital options, cassette publishing is generally more affordable for the consumer than downloading images at a library or university terminal connected to the uninet and essentially the only option for remote users who only have access to a personal computer without a uninet connection (common in regional Victoria where Bazza's Sinowatch was founded).
