Book excerpt: "The changing face of Port Macqurie explores change and development within the coastal settlement through photographs and text. The author has turned his hobby of historical photography into a compelling and insightful survey of the progress of Port Macquarie from 19th century penal colony to thriving 21st century tourist and retirement destination. Historical photos have been placed side by side with modern counterparts, allowing the reader to experience a greater appreciation of the change than could be gained through text alone. The veneer of modern Port Macquarie is drawn away and a familiar yet very different town emerges from an earlier and very different time."--Back cover.
