Coastal Guide to Nature and History 2: Mornington Peninsula’s Ocean Shore, Western Port, Phillip Island and French Island

This book covers the 320 kilometre shoreline from the cliffs of Cape Schanck and Cape Woolamai to the quiet backwaters at the top of Western Port.  Though only 70 km from Melbourne, French Island can feel almost as remote as the outback.  The book’s introductory chapter gives a brief overview of early history of the area.   Western Port is renowned for its wildlife and there are wonderful places where nature thrives.  The pictures in the chapter on animals and plants helps you to identify the species you are most likely to see.
