Australian Beach Cultures cover

Australians are surrounded by beaches. But this enclosure is more than a geographical fact for the inhabitants of an island continent; the beach is an integral part of the cultural envelope. This work analyzes the history of the beach as an integral aspect of Australian culture.

'Booth's book does fill in important gaps with its account of the institutions and professional organisations that grew up around the beach in the second half of the twentieth century.' - Australian Historical Studies
