The Eastern Suburbs grew from bush tracks out over the sand dunes to the pretty picnic spots on the bays and beaches. The spectacular views attracted the wealthy classes of Sydney Town and many of the city's forefathers built grand mansions with harbour views. The beaches attracted different architecture and a different class of people, leading to the explosion of red tiled roofs from Bondi to Coogee.

Pictorial History Hawkesbury by Michelle Nichols is a new book in the famous series of pictorial histories which cover the suburbs of Sydney. The Hawkesbury district in Sydney¿s west was once home to many Australians and in the early 19th century had the second highest population in the colony. In the first few decades of the 1800s the Hawkesbury region was one of the major settlements alongside Sydney and Parramatta. Indeed many Australians can trace their origins (both convict and free) to this district. In the Hawkesbury history suburbs extending from Bilpin, Colo, Ebenezer, Kurrajong, Mount Tomah, Richmond, Windsor and Wiseman¿s Ferry are represented in a wide range of black and white photographs. The book includes the historic areas of Cattai, Riverstone, Londonderry and Yarramundi. With over 190 rare and interesting photographs it is a fascinating overview of the history of the area from Aboriginal to modern times.

ISBN : 9780908272792
Pictorial History Sutherland Shireby Pauline Curby is a new book in the famous series of pictorial histories which cover the suburbs of Sydney. The Shire is a beautiful and distinctive part of Sydney, surrounded by waterways and beaches. People have lived here in splendid isolation fishing, swimming, sailing, boating and surfing. From the Dharawal people to the wealthy white landowners the beauty and plentitude the land has offered has been Sydney¿s secret. Wildflowers abounded and tall timber was cut to make way for small market gardens and dairies. Until the 1960s you could still buy fresh goats milk and honey over your fence and people were walking down to their local weir, creek or river to swim. Cronulla was the jewel in the crown of the Shire. Its scenic setting and access by train, tram or car to the beaches and Port Hacking was a drawcard for holidaymakers from the city and the St George district particularly after the building of the Tom Uglys Bridge. Como opened to crowds of tourists with the opening of the train line and pleasure grounds abounded on the Georges and Port Hacking Rivers and people came to see the new National Park. Taren Point Bridge opened the way for further suburban growth and today Sutherland Shire is one of the biggest local government areas in Sydney. Illustrated with 200 historic black and white photographs this lovely book describes the development and maturing of the Shire from its earliest white settlement through to the extensive settlement we know today.

This book is a history of what it was like to grow up in Sydney during the 1950s and 1960s. This world was observed through the eyes of a child and young man. The memories travel through Bondi in the 1950s, from the Astra Hotel, boarding houses, flats, small struggling shops, going to school, playing cricket and tennis – all at a time when Australia itself was young and growing. The golden fifties launched people into expanded hope through cars, weekends, their own homes and plentiful work. There is the tranquillity of Pittwater, a glassy stretch of water and deep bush where people cherished their weekends in small fibro cottages and tiny boats. The journey goes to the old harbour of ships and wharves and nights at the speedway. Life included Anzac Day marches, sample bags at the Royal Easter Show, street football, Empire Day bonfires, and the lady who read the tea leaves and the Menzies sympathisers and Commos in the family. The world of work was also a journey through running deliveries in school holidays, small factory life in Balmain and office work in the city. The city moved quickly in terms of what jobs disappeared, the rise and fall of businesses and what they sold; and the flattening of old buildings and the rise of the glittering towers. The city was part of life; it sparkled, enticed, threatened, expanded freedom, challenged everything and never let you forget what it did and what you did.
