What began as a description of this garden became the story of a community. While researching the garden at Old Bridge House for a conservation report, the writer was drawn into the lives of the settlers at 'the Margaret', as the

small founding community of Margaret River was known. Tracing the families associated with Old Bridge House, this story follows their links through the generations and underlines the roles they played in shaping Margaret River as it is today. It charts their many sagas and supplies insight into the personalities of those involved. Liberally supplemented with extracts from diaries and letters, it provides the reader with a strong sense of 'being there' as each leave their mark on Margaret River's emerging social heritage.

Frances Louisa (Fanny) Brockman was from a prominent Western Australian family. Covering the last three decades of the 19th Century, her diary is a first-hand account of pioneer farming in the Margaret River area and the people

who lived and worked there. Fanny's entries tell of family relationships and the challenges she faced in managing staff and running properties as a single woman. On the wider front her diary opens a window onto much of the history of the State: the lure of pearling and the North West, the establishment of the timber industry and caves tourism in the South West, the discovery of gold and Federation; and provides a valuable timeframe for delving further.
