Peter’s book Moreton
Bay Letters continues the tradition of Moreton Bay People.
Here, the author offers more eyewitness accounts of Moreton Bay events from aboriginal
times right up to the present day.
With chapters from more than 50 contributors, Moreton Bay
Letters chronicles the life of our Bay: from the tragedy of the "St
Paul" shipwreck, to the mystery of the "Spanish Galleon";from happy
childhood memories at Sandgate to the lonely exiles of Peel and St Helena Islands; from
the early cargo boats like the "Maid of Sker" to the Catalinas of Redland Bay:
from fishing to whaling; from Coochie to Cribby - it’s the way the Bay used to be
… and can never be again!
