Mornington Peninsular Sea Breeze and Sand II

Over three million day trippers visit the Mornington Peninsula each year.

Located in the south-east corner of Australia, it is a favourite holiday destination for residents from the nearby metropolis of Melbourne. Sea Breeze and Sand II takes readers on a journey along 190 kilometres of coastline with diverse bays and beaches, and seaside towns that exude a character of their own. Moving inland, the picturesque countryside is scattered with vineyards and cellar doors, market gardens and fresh produce, golf courses and national parks. An abundance of experiences awaits the discerning traveller, who is introduced to a lifestyle that is quintessentially Australian. Sea Breeze and Sand II encapsulates this special destination as a series of photographic moments taken from the air, sea and land; at dawn and dusk, in winter and summer, during storms and calm weather, from a historical and modern perspective. It will entice the uninitiated to visit the Peninsula for the first time, encourage locals to contemplate the riches at their doorstep, and inspire familiar holiday-makers to recapture the memories of their last vacation.

Mornington Peninsula is a much-loved holiday destination for Melbournians. This coffee table book captures its character and diversity with 600 photographs taken from the air, sea and land along with an insightful commentary, and snippets of history.
