Mosman Park is a far cry from the sparsely settled rural community of the mid and late 1880s. The European farmers who have brought with them their farming equipment and domestic animals found the task of settlement a daunting one. Beautiful as the country was, there were densely wooded hills and wildflowers in profusion. It presented a tough challenge.

Indigenous People, on the other hand, had long found it a region of plenty, seasonally hunting kangaroos, harvesting food and fishing in abundant waters. By the turn of the 20th Century, most of the Indigenous people had gone and workers' huts were clustered about the railway linking Fremantle and Perth.

The district had become and was destined to remain for several decades, a closely knit working-class community. For many years this population was augmented each summer by country visitors, day trippers and campers who enjoyed the bayside resort atmosphere.

Times have changed. On the cliffs overlooking the Swan River, shoreside mansions predominate on land that was once unsaleable because it was too far from made roads and milk deliveries. (book flap)
