It was a long time in the making, the new history of the Fleurieu Peninsula and the earliest encounters between the local Aboriginal people and colonists. 

The full title is even more ambitious:

FEET ON THE FLEURIEU, LANGUAGE ON THE LAND --  
Aboriginal women and men, their communities,
and Kangaroo Islanders:  the story of the earliest guides,
explorers and interpreters around Fleurieu Peninsula (South Australia). 
BOOK 1:  Fleurieu Story, March 1802 – January 1837

This book, in total of 528 pages, is not only the result of an intimate knowledge of the country, Chester writes about;  he also presents deep insights on its people, both past -- the various Aboriginal language communities and the various groups of whitefellas drifting into their country at the time of first contact -- and today, and the manyfold changes that both communities had to endure.

The book was launched on Saturday, 25 November 2023, fittingly at The Garden of Healing (in the local Kaurna Language:  "Purruti-apinthi Mai-yarta") near at the Port Adelaide Uniting Church, that Chester and his family attend, and thus in the heart of Kaurna Country.

It is available as print-on-demand for AU$ 65 plus freight
