Email us – media@newsofthearea.com.au The project was one the community embraced wholeheartedly. Locals dug through cupboards and storage spaces, even finding old maps and photographs under beds which have been included in the publication. Due to the book’s success, another reprint has been planned so more people can enjoy the stories. ”Last year, a group of locals produced a community book about memories of Boat Harbour,” Penny Amberg told News Of The Area. “After two reprints, another reprint is being planned. “Due to ongoing requests for copies, more Memories of Boat Harbour books are being printed. “This will be the last chance to get one of these books. “Due to the small print run, the book will be either $30 or $40 each (this is at cost price).” You can order a copy by emailing pennyamberg@gmail.com by Monday 25 June to order a copy of the book. Your email will be acknowledged. By Marian SAMPSON
