The Enduring Rip, A History of Queenscliffe. First Edition; Square Post 4to; pp. x, 302; illustrated with numerous b/w. illustrations, bibliography, index, bound in original stiff illustrated wrappers, very good copy. Carlton; Melbourne University Press; 2004. White settlement in Queenscliffe was essential to the navigation of the treacherous heads of Port Phillip Bay. In 1838 the first
pilots operated in whale boats from Queenscliffe, and by the time gold was discovered in the 1850s they were joined by a Health Officer and Customs Officer. By 1863 this maritime settlement was a proudly respectable municipality and soon afterwards a resort declared to be 'the Queen of the Watering Places', to which large steam ferries transported hundreds of people to the town's grand hotels. This first official history vividly weaves these threads together. It concludes with a challenging account of how the community of Queenscliffe successfully campaigned in 1993 to remain an autonomous municipality, a political state of affairs that makes its historical identity a living issue.

transported in H.M.S. Calcutta an arriving in Port Phillip in 1803. Several unforeseen circumstances caused the convicts to be moved to the Derwent where they began the settlement which became Hobart. The fates of these convicts were fascinatingly diverse. Some, when free, returned to their homeland, while others settled in Sydney or took to the high seas as traders, sealers or pirates. Others became bushrangers, secondary offenders or succumbed to the grog and lost their land grants. But most prospered and many became more successful than the free settlers they had been sent to serve. Click here to Order
