"Only a stone's throw from central Sydney, Middle Harbour has a mystique all of its own.  Unlike most Australian city environs, it still has regions of virtually untouched bushland.  
Award-winning historian Gavin Souter trawls back and forth in time to create an evocative multi-layered narrative encompassing Aboriginal life, European arrival, modern suburbs and the natural history of bays, creeks and the bush.  It is also a very personal account by someone who has lived within sight of Middle Harbour for forty years."
