AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Scott Reef in the morning and as the sun begins his haul upwards fixt upon the zenith the sea is glass coruscations of red reflected iron ore deposits in the Kimberly. Dawn is magnificent. The ocean is stilled like opal opulence save for the wake astern a lone trawler as she ploughs her way along the contours of the Nor-West Shelf. Mackerel skies are reflected, ruddy refractions of the dawn's early light...' (Abstract)

Notes

  • Epigraph:

    Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,

    But to be young was very heaven!

    –Wordsworth
