Description
Between the Flags: 100 Years of Surf Lifesaving celebrates a national institution and colourful part of Australian life. Since 1907, surf lifesavers have been making the beach a safer place, helping us to enjoy the surf, and playing an integral part in creating Australia's beach life. They are ordinary people doing an extraordinary job, voluntarily. This book captures the events, the personalities and the innovations that have made surf lifesaving in Australia the vibrant movement it is today.
