The Honourable Mary Lindsay purchased 23,000 acres of land and pastoral leases in the 1920s from the Midland Rail Company, establishing the Yanchep Estate. The house and shed were built in the early 1930s. During World War II, the army took over the property.
Lindsay was also an advocate for the development of Jurien Bay into a naval port.
The book is an eye-opening investigative piece concerning Japanese activities along the West Coast of Australia during World War II. Japanese submarine activities off Geraldton, submarine shelling of Port Gregory, and the Brisbane Line abandonment of Western Australia in the event of invasion. (Trove)
