Tucked between the shimmering waters of Port Phillip Bay and Western Port, the Mornington Peninsula is one of Victoria's most beloved coastal retreats — and Between the Bays: Mornington Peninsula captures its soul with breathtaking precision. Illustrator Joan Bognuda and author Leslie M. Moorhead collaborate to present a rich, textured portrait of this iconic Australian landscape, chronicling its coastal villages, rolling farmland, rugged clifftops, and the communities that have shaped its distinctive character over generations. The written narrative, paired with evocative illustration, details the peninsula's layered history — from its Indigenous heritage and early European settlement through to its evolution as a cherished holiday and lifestyle destination for Melburnians. This work stands as both a loving tribute and a meticulous regional record, presenting the peninsula not merely as a geographic location but as a living, breathing place with stories etched into every bay and headland. Bognuda's illustrations bring warmth and intimacy to Moorhead's authoritative prose, resulting in a volume that resonates equally as art and historical document. Whether you are a long-time resident, a curious visitor, or a collector of Australiana, this title leaves you yearning to walk the very shores it so tenderly immortalises.
