Secondhand.Fair condition. Significant wear to book corners and edges. Marks on front and back covers including previous owners stamp. Binding has been reinforced. Rare copy.

This local history takes you through the gradual development of an area on the way to Scarborough Beach, along Plank Road, in the early 20th century. The area covered 7.4km from Main St to Scarborough Beach Road and 2km on each side of Scarborough Beach Road.

Approximately 3000 hectares of land with as few as 200 houses and three schools opened during 1894-1955. They were the Roman Catholic Industrial School at Glendalough 1894-1919, the Seventh Day Adventist School in Osborne Park 1900-1910 and Njookenbooroo State School 1914-1955. (Introduction)

This book portrays the growth from primary industries to a light industrial area and modern suburbs. A social history with few dates and figures. It tells the story of the everyday life of early residents.
