It's a view imprinted on the retina of most South Australians - that majestic vista as you drive into Victor Harbor taking in the town, Granite Island and The Bluff. This is a place of lazy summer holidays, rides on the horse-drawn tram, strolls around Granite Island with an ice cream, fish and chips on the lawn, a cosy winter weekend - a happy place to slow down and relax with loved ones. In this beautiful book, you'll find all this and more as stories from history, newspapers, interviews and oral histories, along with hundreds of images, bring to life the people and places that make Victor Harbor a coveted destination and place to live. You'll meet a host of remarkable people, from the Ramindjeri with their deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land and sea, to the European settlers and the profound change they brought about. Essential to Victor's story are the rough and ready whalers and fishers who once braved the seas of the rugged South Coast. So, too, those involved in community organisations, tourism, agriculture, conservation, business, sport and the arts - trailblazers and local legends pivotal to the social fabric of the town. Victor Harbor: Down beside the sea is the fascinating story of how Victor Harbor came to be, told by the people who live and work in this breathtakingly beautiful coastal locale. Whether you reconnect with Victor Harbor in your armchair or decide to travel from afar to discover the place for yourself, you'll find there's plenty going on 'down beside the sea'.

Matthew is a boy out of place in the world, and he doesn't know why. Can he find his place and space to be the person he knows he can be? Michael is a man for whom life has always been hard work. Even though he has a great job, and seemed to have everything he wanted - a family, a loving wife - he has somehow lost the very best of that life and doesn't understand why. Jeannie has worked hard to love the important people in her life, but now she needs a complete change - moving to a rural area, starting again. Can she make it work, and can she find love again? Will the reasons for that move eventually catch up with her and her family? Will it take a disaster to bring them together, or will the consequences of that disaster be far reaching?
