F. Oliver Gray's personal recollections of life on the north end of Bruny Island — the smaller, more pastoral northern section of the island separated from South Bruny by The Neck. North Bruny has a distinct character from the south — more like farming country, with the community of Dennes Point and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel defining its western shore.
Gray's recollections document what life was like on this part of the island in the mid-20th century — the farms, the families, the community and the rhythms of island life.
At 58 pages with black and white photographs, this is a compact but specific piece of community memory — the kind of local history that gives a picture of a way of life that has since changed in many ways.
