A Trip to the Beach

Description

Today's the day - Iggy's going to catch a wave without any help! Or at least that's what Grandad thinks. Iggy isn't quite so sure. What follows is an unforgettable beach adventure that involves the best sandcastle ever built, fish and chips for lunch, lots of boats and a few perfect waves. Here is a story about the unique beauty of the Australian coast, the universal magic of the ocean, and the importance of finding your own way.

Born in Melbourne in 1942, Gwyn Perkins began his artistic career when he won a newspaper drawing prize of one guinea and a box of paints (mistakenly awarded to Miss Gwyn Perkins). He spent many years as a successful animator in the advertising industry before moving to an island north of Sydney to enjoy a slower pace. He spends his days drawing, sailing and doing odd jobs for his friends and family. Gwyn has two adult sons and lives with his wife and teenage daughter.
