Anthony Walsh.
LADY ELLIOT. First Island of the Great Barrier Reef.
Boolarong Publications small quarto paperback stiff card cover 1987 96 pages illustrated. The island is roughly opposite Bundaberg on the Queensland coast. The book deals with its history wildlife etc and is enhanced with a good collection of B&W photos and colour plates. On pages 76 and 77 there is an interesting juxtaposition of photos of two kinds of bird life found there - feathered and human. Both are nice! The book has a faint trace of foxing inside front and back covers but is otherwise a very good clean copy. ISBN 0864390424. paperback
