[From Foreword] In our Bicentennial year, when Australia as a nation reflects on its heritage, Warringah Shire Council is proud to announce the creation of the Warringah Book, an official Bicentennial project. The book makes no attempt to construct a history, but is a valuable and unique memento of the way we were in 1988, as seen through the eyes of a collection of artists and writers with a shared love of Warringah Shire. The concept is an interesting combination of the high arts and community an. The result - a talented and inspired presentation which portrays to the community not mysterious creatures of exclusive city art galleries or far away international publishing houses, but neighbours - proud residents of this beautiful part of Sydney - our own Warringah Shire
