Nonfiction Book Review: Rex Hunt's Fishing Australia
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

Rex's favourite fishing spots.



The king of Australian fishing, Rex Hunt, is well-known not just for kissing his catch, but for his down to earth, practical guides to fishing in Australia. In this offering, he presents his favourite fishing spots around Australia, from Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, to Dirk Hartog Island off the Western Australian coast and Cape York.

For each fishing district, Hunt shares stories of his own fishing adventures, as well as loads of practical advice on how to best fish that location. There is also a guide to how to get there, the best time of year to fish there, the type of fish to be caught there and the best gear to use. The book is also filled with colour photographs – of Rex and his acquaintances with their prize catches, and of the scenery of the various destinations.

This is a no nonsense guide which will appeal to all anglers and would make a wonderful Christmas gift.
