“This is a dramatic and absorbing novel of the Australian maritime industry. It is a human story of mateship under stress; of a man and woman under the northern palms; of automation on the Queensland wharves and the problems which follow. It is a story of those colourful characters the Queensland watersiders, told by one of them who has the knack of recreating their waterfront idiom, their camaraderie and lively spirits. Lew Brody is a man in conflict as automation comes to the tropic town of Sugarport. What happens to Lew and those close to him is a story of industrial unrest, the cyclonic havoc of “Terrible Tilly” and a romance which unfolds with imaginative inisght.”
