This book is dedicated to: Christer Westerdahl for showing us a different way to look at maritime communities. The people/community of Queenscliffe, who opened their doors and memories to us on many occasions to recount their stories and knowledge of their region. We could not have done it without you. Queenscliffe is a wonderful place! Finally, to our families—Tracey, Emily and Liam, and Melissa, Eliza and William, who inspired us to get this work finished.
