Flinders Cargo Shed: Heritage and Environs By Flinders District Historical Society

Description Flinders Cargo Shed was the winner of the 2023 VCHA Small Publication History Award. “Beginning with the 2022 Flinders Pier Precinct heritage listing by the Heritage Council of Victoria, this small volume reveals the importance of this space’s natural history, the early Bunurong–colonist relationships in this area of Bunurong Country, and the role of the site in industry, telecommunications and defence. This is a considered and informative history with an engaging narrative, drawing on an interpretive display housed in the Flinders Cargo Shed. This history is beautifully illustrated and situates the history of the Cargo Shed and pier within broader moments of Victoria’s history, and demonstrates the significance of the Cargo Shed’s built structure to the state.”   Paperback, 32pp, 2023
