Down To The Beach: Mentone Life Saving Club History 1920 to 2010 by David Grant offers a richly illustrated look at a century of surf lifesaving in Melbourne’s Mentone area. This non‑fiction local history blends cultural and social insights, making it appealing to both young adult and adult readers interested in Australian history and beach life.
Published in 2010, the hardcover edition features a protective dust jacket and 244 pages of clean, tidy text and photographs. The book is in good condition, with a tight binding and no dog‑ears or writing inside, and it comes from a smoke‑free home.
The dust jacket shows light scuffing and wear, typical of a well‑loved volume, but remains intact and functional. Inside, the illustrated pages are free of marks, preserving the visual narrative of the club’s development.
Ideal for collectors of antiquarian and collectible works, as well as anyone seeking an engaging account of life‑saving heritage, this book provides a vivid snapshot of community spirit and beach culture in Victoria.
