"I could not reconcile that a long family residency of the Fremantle and Cockburn area had not introduced me to the curious existence of an itinerant camp - on land traditionally a Nyoongar camping ground, along the beautiful stretch of wild coastline of Cockburn Sound and Woodman Point near where Robb Jetty once stood... The presence of this camp was intriguing, and seeded an idea of researching the details, with a self-imposed restriction to the time period from just before the turn of the century to the mid 1950s." -- from Introduction, p.12.
