Product Notes

A photography book and field guide to Australia's ocean pools — the saltwater baths cut into rock platforms along the country's surf coasts. Chris Chen's photography captures the way these man-made structures sit within the landscape, while Marie-Louise McDermott brings deep research into their history, accessibility and cultural significance.

Ocean pools are communal, restorative and genuinely Australian. This book treats them with the seriousness they deserve. Each pool entry covers amenities, accessibility and location — useful whether you're planning a visit or just appreciating them from the page.
