Book Description
From Eden to Byron Bay the New South Wales coast is more than 2000 kilometres long, with 130 estuaries, 100 coastal lakes and a rich history. This, the first history written of the New South Wales coast, traces our relationship with this stretch of land and sea starting millennia ago when Aboriginal people feasted on shellfish and perfected the art of building bark canoes, to our present obsession with the beach as a place to live or holiday. Leading us through the European fascination with marine life, the attempts to establish a whaling industry, the fear of seaborne invasion which led to the creation of a navy of our own in 1911 through to the rise of our unstoppable enthusiasm for surfing and fishing, Ian Hoskins argues that our current enthralment with the coast began more recently than we might think.

Book Description
Manly to Palm Beach covers the coastal region of the upper North Shore, including Manly, Shelly Beach, Queenscliff, Curl Curl, Brookvale, Dee Why, Collaroy, Narrabeen, Church Point, Pittwater, Newport, Bilgola Beach, Avalon, Mona Vale, Scotland Island and Palm Beach. Once a stretch of small beachside townships, the history of this coastal area is explored in photographs, from the very early beginnings of contact with the Aboriginal inhabitants and white settlement, through to the development of the beachside way of life that still characterises the area. This book follows the suburbs from Manly to Palm Beach, chronologically. An old favourite which has been in print for nearly 20 years.
