An exciting story of the people and events that went to make up the vivid history of the first fifty years of the Shire. It tells for the first time of the secret preparations to turn Sutherland into a fortress shire when during the Second World War, Australia was threatened by an invasion from Japan. You can also get a full picture of the thriving Sutherland of the 50s, the shire that made Cook's optimism valid. **The book has tanning and the name of the previous owner at the top of the flyleaf. The jacket has several tape-repaired tears and rubbing all over.**.
