About the Book: 

It started as an idea to capture the essence of the Mornington Peninsula.

After the discovery of a small collection of historical images from a time well before our own.  The familiar, yet unrecognisable pubs.  Vast fields and farmland instead of towns.  Streets that looked almost the same, yet strangely alien.  The area had evolved.

Jack intricately weaves the Mornington Peninsula’s history with the present day.  While Julian captures the visual developments of its landscapes and lifestyle.  Together we celebrate the Mornington Peninsula’s story — past, present, and future.

We invite you to explore these pages and experience the Mornington Peninsula.  Reflect on its history, witness its development, and envision its future.
