Description

Along our shores, towering cliffs from the age of the dinosaurs rise beside wide estuaries teeming with wildlife, while Victorian ports share waterfronts with imposing fortifications. And the people who have lived, worked, and played on this spectacular coast—from Stone Age fishermen to seafarers, chart-makers, and surfers—have an incredible tale to tell. Coast: Our Island Story is an enthralling account, sparkling with geography, history, adventure, and eccentric characters, told with Nick Crane's trademark charisma and wit.
