Description

Woodman Point is a small peninsula off Perth, Western Australia, which supports beautifully preserved coastal vegetation, including extensive thickets of Rottnest cypress, and healthy tuari trees growing unusually close to the ocean.

Whereas most of the coastal vegetation around Australia's cities has been destroyed or degraded over the years, that of Woodman Point has until now largely escaped the ravages of development, of unrestricted public access and of fire.

The sensitive photography and detailed text contained in this book provide a permanent pictorial record of an area prized for its exceptional botanical interest.

The land at Woodman Point is to be opened for public recreation in the near future and the plant communities are unlikely to survive unscathed.

This is a book not only for conservationists, botanists and students, but for every Australian interested in the delicate plant life of our coasts.
