Hardcover. Condition: Fine. WEST AUSTRALIANA FishingThis is a story about two men and a river. The river is not just a body of water; it is a fragile marine eco-system that connects the Perth hills to Fremantle Harbour and the Indian Ocean. The Swan River and its tributaries are to Perth what the harbour is to Sydney. It is the heart and definitive geographic feature that defines not only the shape of the West Australian capital but also its character. The two men are not solitary beings. Their tale and stories are about family, friends and a community which is bound together and blessed by the beauty and bounty of the Swan River. Black Water Prawning is a celebration of the river at the end of the twentieth century. It is our sincere hope that readers learning about the joy, fun and sustenance that we received from our precious Swan will be encouraged to do all they can to help restore it to full and bountiful health. Intimate and thought-provoking, this book will inspire debate and reflection on what the Swan River means to the Perth community. 77 p. : col. ill., ports. ; 29 cm.
