The Coast
The Coast: A Journey Along Australia's Eastern Shores | Chris Hammer
2 posts | 3 to read
From the winner of the ACT Book of the year Award for his first book, The River, comes this celebration of the Australian seascape, from its natural grandeur to the quirky individualism of those who live beside it. It is also the heartfelt and pertinent story of the issues facing our coast today and the resilience of communities at a turning point. Chris Hammer travels the length of the east coast of Australia on a journey of discovery and reflection, from the Torres Strait to Tasmania; from an island whose beach has been lost forever to the humbling optimism of the survivors of Cyclone yasi; from the showy beaches of Sydney to a beautiful village that endures despite the loss of its fishing fleet. This is a relevant, satisfying and highly readable book, imbued with a sense of optimism and humour. Even as new economic imperatives emerge and the shift in our climate becomes apparent, we can revel in the heritage and character of our shores, reminding us why the coast is so important to all of us.

gradcat Is this the song meant by the prompt? I thought it was the one by Coolwater Set & RAC (feat. JVZEL)...isn‘t this hard? Too many decades I‘ve lived—too much music I‘ve heard! Happy Fourth, Eadie—hope you‘re having a great day!! 🎇 🥰 😂 (edited) 5y

EadieB @Cinfhen Happy 4th to you too! I‘m not familiar with it either but that‘s why I like doing this because I learn a lot! lol 5y
gradcat @EadieB Are the concerts on Spotify as well? 5y
gradcat @KarenUK It‘s a great choice...are you referring to artists who have performed at Lilith Fair concerts since the inception? They go back many years, don‘t they? 🤷🏽‍♀️ 5y
KarenUK @gradcat Yes, all this month‘s artists performed at Lilith Fair at some time. As far as google tells me (😂) the tour happened 4 times, 1997- 1999 and a revival in 2010.... 5y
gradcat @KarenUK Ok, got it. I just remember going to one of the early ones with a bunch of my girlfriends...haven‘t really kept up with the later ones, though. It sure was a lot of fun, though! ♥️ 5y
