Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor edgewear. Minor creasing to dust jacket at spine top.

2nd revised edition

Nora Taggart uses personal writings and official colonial sources to provide an insight into the privations and difficulties that confronted early British settlers.

Rockingham's transition from a farming and timber port to that of a substantial township is also discussed. With the establishment of the Kwinana industrial complex in the 1950s, Rockingham was the ideal location for a workforce to live and building activities reached a high by the late 1970s.
