A work of Australian regional and maritime history, Mornington: In The Wake Of Flinders chronicles the rich heritage of the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, tracing its story from the era of early European exploration — most notably the voyages of Matthew Flinders — through to its development as a settled community. Leslie M. Moorhead presents a detailed and authoritative account of the people, places, and events that shaped this distinctive coastal region, drawing on local records and historical sources to bring the past vividly to life. The tone is earnest and scholarly, yet accessible, making it an invaluable resource for both serious historians and those with a personal connection to the area. Richly grounded in local lore and geographic detail, the narrative illustrates how the legacy of early exploration left an indelible mark on the identity of one of Victoria's most beloved peninsulas.
