Alternative title: The Peel Estate 1919-1936: Including the Voices of the Children

The development of the Peel Estate within the Western Australian dairy industry is examined from various perspectives: the government's attitude, the hardships experienced by adult settlers, and the exploitation of children.

Little has been written about the lives of children of Soldier Settlers, Group Settlers and Free Settlers. Shorter's research reveals the difference in children's experiences between the three groups.
