| book description |

Shark attacks and sewage slicks, lifesavers and surfers, amusement parks and beach camps â€“ the beach is Sydneyâ€™s most iconic landscape feature. From Palm Beach in the north to Cronulla in the south, Sydneyâ€™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 Sydneyâ€™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 Sydneyâ€™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.
