In June 1712 the Dutch vessel Zuytdorp was wrecked on the cliffs north of Kalbarri in Western Australia. There were survivors. At the heart of this incident lies one burning question, Did the survivors integrate and settle with the Malgana Aborigines of Shark Bay? A gripping fictional novel based on fact, The Albatross Necklace answers this question. At the same time the book explores the resistance of local Aboriginal tribes who find their land invaded by British settlers laying claim to vast estates in and around Perth in Western Australia in 1829-1840.
