The book to have in hand when beachcombing in the tropics.
This guide covers the tropical coast of Australia, from the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, to the Kimberley coast. The book begins with an overview of the environment, from the making of coral cays to how cyclones form. It then identifies the major groups and species of organisms, from the shade-giving plants, through the exquisite seashells, to the wide ranging sea-birds.
