Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners. A few tiny spots on inside half-title page, otherwise fine condition.

The history and development of Rottnest Island from its European discovery by 17th-century Dutch navigators to the turn of the 21st century.

As a government preserve from the earliest days of the Swan River Colony, whether as a prison or holiday resort, the island's social and economic structure has been bureaucratically run. Macro events such as British colonisation and its effect on the Indigenous inhabitants, convictism, world wars, economic depression, post-war prosperity and population booms have been seen to have played their part in Rottnest Island.

Documents including photographs, government reports and correspondence, newspaper articles and interviews with island settlers, fishermen and yachtsmen are used to illustrate the many aspects of island life and its role in Western Australian history. (book inside cover)
