Visions Of The Australian Coast. Surfing Life. Paperback

Australia is blessed with a coastline of immeasurable beauty. The views along it’s length, from the warm shores of Queensland to the cold and dangerous cliffs of the south-west, are as varied as they are fascinating. Just as fascinating is the way Australians have been moulded by their interaction with this colossal coast, into a nation of surfers, swimers, lifesavers, sailors, fishermen and just plain beachgoers - a nation with a unique connection to it’s margins. This volume gathers together an unparalleled collection of great Australian coastal images, along with a select range of writing that provides more than just a glimpse of how sand, reef and water has shaped the Australian character. A book for all who know (or who’d like to know) and love the many moods, tides and swells of this most spectacular of coastlines.
