Basically from Wiseman's Ferry to Berowra and even to West Pennant Hills. The emphasis is really on the families and people rather than events with careful documentation included from the pre European period onwards to the. mid 1900's. It is an essential reference for everyone looking into the history of this now large area of northern Sydney.
