A Never Ending Journey

This colourful book encompasses so much more than history. Here you will find pre-history, geology, natural systems, cultural landscapes, visitor attractions, conservation and expanding development, rural and coastal townships and their distinctive characters, alongside entertaining local anecdotes.

It is a thoroughly researched and illustrated record of all aspects of the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, from its ancient formation millennia ago before humans – or even dinosaurs – roamed the earth, through evolutionary and social changes, to its current appellation as ‘Melbourne’s Playground’…and beyond. Indeed, a never-ending story…

Malcolm Gordon’s deep knowledge of the Peninsula’s captivating and varied landscapes is reflected here in loving detail, with many photographs, maps and diagrams commissioned specifically for this book.

All aspects of the Mornington Peninsula are covered in this delightful book, the result of the author’s many years spent exploring the region and interviewing its inhabitants.
