\"meere<\/a><\/p>\n

Australian Beach Pattern is an iconic Australian artwork, synonymous with our way of life. Charles Meere is just the fellow who painted it. In this book, Joy Eadie reveals a fresh perspective on the artist, a fascinating and remarkable Australian whose reputation deserves a re-evaluation. Accused of fascism, totalitarianism and eugenics, Meere has been dismissed by critics as unimaginative and dull. Eadie is on a mission to prove them wrong.<\/p>\n

It also describes the history and geology of the area for layperson and scientist alike. Many lessons learned in the aftermath helped inform the response to earthquakes and tsunamis that followed, such as the Boxing Day tsunami and the Fukushima tsunami.<\/p>\n
