Bouddi Society launches book
The Bouddi Society will launch its book The Bouddi Peninsula: A Very Special Place just before Christmas.
The Society embarked on the project In 2007, capturing stories and images of people and places that are part of the history of the Bouddi Peninsula.
They include the Bouddi National Park and the suburbs of Killcare Heights, Killcare, Hardy's Bay, Pretty Beach and Wagstaffe.
The project was launched at a special History-Making Day at Wagstaffe Hall when local residents contributed more than 200 photographs, a collection that rose during the next two years to 2000.
A team of more than 50 volunteer contributors and editors produced more than 100 stories and biographies of people and life on the Peninsula, culminating in the production of a DVD-CD entitled The Bouddi Peninsula: Voices and Images from a Colourful Past that was released earlier this year.
The book is designed to take readers through the evolution of the Bouddi Peninsula and its marvellous National Park to what it is today, featuring the people, places, scenery and events that have shaped the area over the years.
Present day photographs have been added to the historical collection, many of them drawn from the remarkable photo library created by Killcare Heights resident Mr Manfred Gottschalk.
The 192-page publication includes 380 photographs and illustrations and will be available for $69 or $56 for Bouddi Society members.
A special pre-publication price of $50 is offered for orders placed before November 15.
To pre-purchase your copy of the book, contact Dianne Lewis for more information on 4360 1276 or visit www.bouddisociety.org.au.
