Tandora - A Pioneer’s Dream

Written to commemorate the centenary of the Titmarsh family's

arrival at Tandora in 1907, this book encompasses the unique

lifestyle and observations made by many generations during

lifetimes of living on the last large coastal property on the

southern Queensland coast. Packed full of interesting facts and

730 photographs, it awakens the reader to the decisions that

have to be made when balancing environmental concerns

against the need for progress, Tandora still has large areas of

totally untouched wilderness and wetlands, as well as thousands

of acres of fully developed grazing and farmland.

The author presents 36 chapters of ‘no holds barred’ interesting

reading that has something for everyone. Droughts, floods,

dingoes, wild pigs, horses, cattle, birds, trees, earthworks are

just some of the topics explored. Another chapter written by the

author's great grandmother in 1901, describes life in Brisbane

from when she arrived there as a child in 1853.
