“Moreton
Bay Reflections” represents the final part of Peter
Ludlow's Moreton Bay Trilogy of books that began with “Moreton
Bay People – The Complete Collection” in 2000 and
was followed by “Moreton Bay Letters” in 2003.
“Moreton
Bay Reflections” follows the philosophy of its
predecessors with reminiscences of Moreton Bay’s history
by its locals, but this time it goes further with more
of Peter's own interpretations, not only of Moreton Bay,
but also of his own life’s philosophy.
In “Moreton
Bay Reflections” Peter – and many others – reflect
on such diverse aspects of Moreton Bay as its ‘lost’
areas of Bishop and Cribb Islands; the American Armed
Services ‘invasion’ during World War II; the mystery
graves on Peel and Mud Islands; an Aborigines’ life on
Stradbroke; the past tourist rivalry of Cleveland and
Sandgate; a pioneer’s life on Russell and Karragarra
Islands; the importance of seagrass; what Moreton Bay is
worth today; and much more.
