A Backward Glance

A beautiful and gentle story of a branch of the Mainland family, beginning with their early years in Australia. From establishing their roots in country Victoria, migrating to the farming community of Narrogin in Western Australia, and finally living in Dunsborough and Busselton when they were very different to today.



A story of love, laughter, and sadness told with humour and self- deprecation as it journeys through a family's history. Full of unsung heroes and real people doing everything they can to make life wonderful for their families and children, while contributing as much as they could to the fabric of the communities they were living in.



This is a story that will make you laugh and make you cry, and will leave you feeling better about the world.
