A clear flowing Yarra

The subtitle of A clear flowing Yarra by Harry Saddler is 'visions of Melbourne's river as it is and could be'. The author provides an interesting look at the Yarra River and some of its tributaries that are a feature of Melbourne and many of its suburbs. The book contains interviews with people from many of the groups who care about the river and its environs and work to preserve the river. The author also discusses some of the animals, birds and reptiles that can be found near the river.

Much of the work consists of his musings about whatever topic he is writing about resulting in a rambling and sometimes repetitive discussion. The book, though, does contain some informative information about the Yarra River and its environs.
