Published by Vivid Publishing, it chronicles the history, culture, and transformation of the iconic beachfront suburb of Albany in Western Australia. Main Themes & Content Indigenous Heritage: The book acknowledges that the Menang people of the Noongar nation have cared for the region for thousands of years prior to European settlement. It explores the area's traditional name, Binalup, which translates to the "place of first light". Historical Progression: Arnold gathers local history spanning from the early 1800s through to the present day. It touches on its transition from a raw European settlement and cargo offloading site into a beloved modern coastal suburb. Community Anecdotes: The content relies on three years of assiduous research, drawing from historic articles in the Albany Advertiser and firsthand interviews with local residents who have deep family ties to the area. Visual History: Designed as a coffee-table piece, it includes an extensive collection of photographs capturing how the beach's shoreline, infrastructure, and character have physically changed across generations.
