Shark attacks and sewage slicks, lifesavers and surfers, amusement
parks and beach camps - the beach is Sydney's most iconic landscape
feature. From Palm Beach in the north to Cronulla in the south,
Sydney's coastline teems with life. People from around the city
escape to the beaches to swim, surf, play, and lie in the sun.
Sydney Beaches tells the story of how Sydneysiders developed their
love of the beach, from 19th-century picnickers to the surfing and
sun-baking pioneers a century later. But Sydney's beaches have
another lesser-known, intriguing history. Our world-famous beach
culture only exists because the first beachgoers demanded important
rights. This book is also the story of these battles for the beach.
Accompanied by vibrant images of Sydney's seashore, this expansive
and delightful book is the story of how a city developed a
relationship with its ocean coast, and how a nation created a
culture.
