WHERE PELICANS ARE - A Story of Tragedy and Tranquility
Written by Joy Seevers
Priced $25.00 p&p $3.00
"The village community of Lakes Entrance is thrown into disarray when a
member of a prominent fishing family disappears on the water. This book
traces the reaction of family, friends and neighbours to the tragedy as a
community is united in grief. In telling the story of the family coming to
terms with the loss, the book includes a history of the fishing industry of the
Gippsland Lakes and the nearby Bass Strait waters. The reader learns of
the daily activities of fishing folk, their variegated skills, the way they
predict the weather, and stories from the past which have been retold down the
generations. The lifestyle of the village inhabitants is recreated from
the inside, as they learn to cope with a livelihood which oscillates between
tranquility and tragedy."
