Making Maroochy : a history of the land, the people and the Shire

This history of the Maroochy Shire, the centre of Queensland's Sunshine Coast, tells the story of human settlement and the use of the land from the times before the Aboriginal way of life was disturbed by European settlers, through the decades of development of agriculture and fruit-growing and the growth of towns, to the tourist era and the surge of population in recent years."--Back cover.
