Down to the Beach: Mentone Life Saving Club History 1920 to 2010 by David Grant charts ninety sun-soaked years of one of Melbourne’s most cherished surf clubs. This illustrated hardcover blends Australian social history with rare club photographs, capturing beach culture from reel-rescues to modern IRB racing.

The 244-page narrative follows local heroes who patrolled Mentone’s shores through wars, Depression and mass car culture, making it essential reading for collectors of Melbourne history or life-saving lore. Art-and-culture buffs will enjoy the vintage bathing-costume ads and coastal architecture shots tucked throughout.

Presented in its original dust jacket, this copy remains clean, tight and unmarked—no inscriptions, dog-ears or smoke odour; only light scuffing to the jacket edges keeps it from fine. A handsome shelf addition for anyone passionate about Australian beach memoirs or true coastal stories.
