Australian Guide to Beaches and Rockpools

By Bob Winters (Gould League)

Life in the shallows

Going to the beach is an Australian pastime, but have you ever stopped to think of the creatures that call the beach their home? Journey into the rock-pools to discover snails, crabs, sea urchins and cucumbers. Walk along the beach and learn about seaweed, birds and beach conservation.

Aimed at young readers with glossy colour photographs and large print text but the content has plenty to interest and educate an adult as well.
