Book reviews

I was a regular reviewer for the Townsville Bulletin (TB) from late 2004 until late 2011. I have also reviewed for Viewpoint for Young Adults, LiNQ and other publications. More recently I have written a few reviews especially for Green Path (GP) and/or Waves, the newsletter of the Reef HQ Aquarium Volunteers Association which I edited from 2010-14.

Most of my recent reviews are relevant to Green Path and have been posted there regardless of their prior history; the links will take you straight to them.
