They say you can't step in the same river twice, and it's true that the Yarra has been hugely changed - but this book is a glorious and timely reminder that things can also be changed for the better. Nature writer Harry Saddler hops, skips and jumps his way along, beside, on and even in the Yarra River from source to mouth, reveling in its hidden beauty, getting close to platypuses, kingfishers, Krefft's gliders and the occasional seal, and meeting many of the swimmers, bushwalkers, ecologists and traditional owners who are quietly and tenaciously restoring the river, patch by patch. Optimistic, inspiring and heartfelt, A Clear Flowing Yarra is a passionate love letter to the river that shapes Melbourne, and an evocative vision of what it is now and what it can be.

Around the same time someone explains the mechanics of an Australian hoop snake to you, you might also hear how the Yarra flows upside down. The explanation for the river's famous muddiness, they'll tell you, is that it carries its bed turgidly on the surface, the clear water flowing underneath. Too thin to plough, they'll say; too thick to drink . . . Kristin Otto has produced a moving and surprising exploration of the history and meaning of Melbourne's Yarra river and those who have lived and worked on it. Yarra celebrates a river that has sustained and inspired generations: from the earliest attempts to bridge the river to the collapse of the Westgate Bridge; from the surveyor Robert Hoddle's expedition to find the source in 1837, to the dolphins that enter the river from Port Phillip Bay; from the Wurundjeri people and their relationship with the Yarra, to the bodies washed up near Flinders Street in the present day.
