Book, Gelding Street Press, Abalone pioneers : the Untold Stories of the Victorian Western Zone Divers, 2019
“Abalone Pioneers is the Australian story of the divers, deckhands, researchers and processors who established and developed the zone's abalone industry. The book chronicles the amateur fisherman of the 1950s and the hazy crazy tribe of ‘scruffy longhairs’, who were attracted by the hedonistic lifestyle and fantastic profits in the 1960s, to the professional enterprise of today. It charts the development of the Victorian Western Abalone Divers Association and it role managing and protecting the Victorian Western Zone’s resources, and explores the successful diver-led commercial processors. Illustrated with over 100 historical photographs and featuring over 50 interviews, Abalone Pioneers is an exuberant and fascinating account of the establishment of one of Australia’s valuable but little-known fisheries.”--Back cover.224 pages, 19 pages of plates : illustrations (chiefly colour), colour facsimiles, colour portraits ; 27 cm.non-fiction“Abalone Pioneers is the Australian story of the divers, deckhands, researchers and processors who established and developed the zone's abalone industry.
