Description: Tucked between ocean and estuary on the Central Coast, Ettalong Beach is a place shaped by tides, timber and time. This richly researched guide traces the peninsula's story from the Bouddi people who first walked its foreshores, through the days of oyster leases and paddle steamers, to the lively village of markets, cafés and waterfront strolls it has become today. Along the way, readers are drawn into the natural rhythms of the channel and sandflats, and pointed toward the walking tracks, paddle routes and wild pockets that lie just beyond town. A thoughtful companion for curious travellers and armchair explorers alike.
