Sport & Recreation Australiana Travel & Exploration
Noel Patrick’s Curtis Coast is a 2003 illustrated Australian travel and boating guide that explores one of Queensland’s hidden coastal gems. Written by local author Noel Patrick, this non-fiction paperback blends geography, leisure and practical seamanship for young adult and adult adventurers.
Inside, hand-drawn sketches and photos map anchorages, coves and tidal routes along Curtis Coast, while Patrick’s first-hand commentary mixes maritime history with tips on safe navigation. The book is inscribed, adding a personal touch from the author.
The cover carries honest shelf wear—light scuffs, a 7 cm edge tear at the spine that remains firmly attached—and a few pages show discreet underlining, ideal for readers who see margin notes as conversation, not distraction.
A scarce regional title for collectors of Australian boating literature or travellers planning a coastal cruise, this copy is ready to ride in a backpack, glovebox or cabin bookshelf.
