"On the Margins of the Littoral Society: The New South Wales South Coast since 1945"

Brown, Nicholas. “On the Margins of the Littoral Society: The New South Wales South Coast since 1945.” Environment and History 4, no. 2, Australia special issue (June, 1998): 209–237. doi:10.3197/096734098779555646. Since the end of World War II the south coast of New South Wales has moved from relative isolation and a declining pastoral economy to being an area of rapid growth, registering the changing social and cultural patterns of urban Australia and becoming the site for a range of national environmental and indigenous rights controversies. This article focuses on the dynamics of this centre-margin relationship, with particular attention to the overlaying of successive histories and sensibilities, and the forms of environmental advocacy these processes have produced.
