Ningaloo Reflections on the Reef

Author(s): Leith Holtzman

Water Animals

A coffee-table style full-colour book with exquisite photos and first-hand stories about the reef and its marine life. Over a ten year period, the author has led hundreds of people into the waters of Ningaloo to swim with the majestic whale shark - the biggest fish in the ocean. The text of the book and the author's photographs are supplemented by the author's videos of whale sharks and other marine life - all accessible directly from the book via QR codes. There has not been a publication of this sort on the Ningaloo Reef since the 1990's and certainly not since it becoming a World Heritage listed site in 2011. This is a unique, interactive book for nature lovers.
