Pictorial History Manly to Palm Beach

Covers the coastal region of the upper North Shore, including Manly, Shelly Beach, Queenscliff, Curl Curl, Brookvale, Dee Why, Collaroy, Narrabeen, Church Point, Pittwater, Newport, Bilgola Beach, Avalon, Mona Vale, Scotland Island and Palm Beach.

Once a stretch of small beachside townships, the history of this coastal area is explored in photographs, from the very early beginnings of contact with the Aboriginal inhabitants and white settlement, through to the development of the beachside way of life that still characterises the area.

This book follows the suburbs from Manly to Palm Beach, chronologically. An old favourite which has been in print for nearly 20 years.

Written by Alan Sharpe. 144 pages, black & white. A4 format. $24.95 plus $5 postage (includes GST).
