This project charts the transformation of the region stretching from the Shoalhaven River to the Victoria border from the 1920s, when it was one of the most economically and socially marginalised areas of settled Australia, through its steady incorporation into the major dynamics of demographic, environmental, cultural and regulatory change. From the forests to the fisheries, declining dairy industries and communities to expanding leisure and 'sea-change' developments, the south coast provides a mirror from the peripheries back to the transitions of the centre. This project seeks to comprehend the evolving relationships between social and environmental histories in modern Australia.
