This book tells the story of the Noarlunga district, beginning in the days before the European settlement when the area belonged to the Kaurna People of Adelaide Plains Aboriginals and traces its development through first settlement and the years of gold hunger to steadier times when the newcomers, through several generations, had become a people with a sense of tradition and place.
Whether telling of cattlement or miners, civic planners or smugglers, this history conveys something special about this long-settled part of South Australia.
The Noarlunga of today presides over a region rich in history; and it is caught up in many changes. Yet, as this book reminds us, it is a place conscious of its heritage. To appreciate its many links with the past, the visitor need only walk its older streets to view the many fine buildings carefully preserved and maintained for future generations.
Meticulously researched over several years, this work is an imporant addition to Austalian social history, and will prove fascinating to all who are interested in the sage of Australia.
