Some of the images are well-known. Others - including the earliest known painting of the first European settlement - are newly revealed. All portray the rich history of 'the Bay'. The accompanying text provides the historical context of each, for events and developments near and far have influenced engagement with this geographically remote location and swept its inhabitants along with the rest of the world. Together, the images and narrative take us into the lives of those living in the various phases of the Bay's history, where opportunities beckoned, where dreams and schemes met the realities of an environment both demanding and generous". - Back cover.
