Author Celeste Mitchell will be visiting Annie’s Books on Peregian with her new book, Ultimate Beaches Australia, to meet readers and sign copies of her book on Saturday 21 June from 10am to 12 midday.
Celeste has always had a love of travel and storytelling, and she has cleverly combined the two passions and created a life as a travel journalist and author. Her book, Ultimate Beaches Australia, is a part of the fabulous Explore series of books from publisher Hardie Grant, and is full of lavish photography and valuable travel tips.
When Celeste accepted the opportunity to write about Australian beaches, she thought, “Hey, I love the beach, and I’ve been to quite a few, so surely I can do this topic justice”.
She quickly found out that there are around 12,000 beaches here, and whittling the list down to 80 of the best was going to be a challenge. Celeste explains her criteria for selection in her book which includes a glossary of beach terms and collection of beachside plants.
The book is divided into states, and yes, there is quite a bit of local content.
Pop down to Annie’s Books on Peregian at Peregian Village and meet Celeste.
