Abstract:
A collection of mostly Western Australian stories based on Bunbury's oral history radio features. It is a tapestry of snapshots across time from before European settlement through to the late twentieth century. Stories range from the fascinating account
of the 1711 wreck of the Dutch ship, Zuytdorp; an Australian soldier's remarkable escape and lone voyage across the Mediterranean in the 1940s; and the inspiring late twentieth century journey of a rural community to Reconciliation.
