Never again will we see a lazaret for lepers at Peel Island, a prison at St Helena, or a whaling station at Tangalooma. Hopefully, too, ‘The Bay’ will never experience another World War with its influx of foreign servicemen, or another Great Depression and its casualties seeking refuge in the bay’s islands. Between 1990 and 2000 author, Peter Ludlow, interviewed over eighty of the bay’s ‘personalities’ and the published their stories in a series of volumes entitled ‘Moreton Bay People’. Here, for the first time, they are all brought together in a single volume: Moreton Bay People - The Complete Collection . With its enhanced images, full indexation, and some more previously unpublished ‘gems’ this completely re-edited edition will prove essential reading to anyone - be they reference librarians or ‘boaties’- with an interest in Moreton Bay and its people.
