Historical information

The book presents a rich picture of a nation in the making. It is a portrait of Australia's development during the 19th and 20th centuries seen through the eyes of people arriving to make their homes here. It also looks at the new arrivals - those accepted and those rejected - from the points of view of people already established in the country.

Significance

The book has a place in this collection by virtue of Michael Dugan having been a local resident.
