About This Item
Melbourne: Arcadia / Australian Scholarly Publishing, 2019. Paperback small trade, very good condition, few black & white text-photos, maps, minor edgewear, small sticker top corner flyleaf (covers sticker mark). 220 pp. Pam Menzies relates her first 16 years spent in Port Kembla, south of Sydney. The book is also the story of a steel town and its movers and shakers. She follows three generations of her family, looking at lives lived in the shadow of the famous steel works, the many migrants who came looking for work, and the parallel lives of the Wadi-Wadi, the original Aboriginal inhabitants. The reasons behind the town's decline and its prospects for a revitalised future are pondered.
