This work is a commissioned history for the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the Municipality of Sutherland. More than just a local history, this book looks more broadly at the development of Australia's second largest municipality as a cultural and environmental history. It follows the development of robust communities and captures the area's special features, such as its natural heritage. It also addresses the downside of urban development, including environmental degradation and social dislocation. It draws on an abundance of rich primary sources and contains many previously unpublished photographs.
