} amazing new book

This 200 page pictorial history of Fremantle's port begins with its dangerous days of unsheltered anchorage. It finishes in 2011, when a $250 million dredging program allowed the then biggest of the big ships into the Inner Harbour. The safe harbour created by C.Y. O'Connor over 100 years ago lives on.

See the Battle of the Plans to develop a decent port. See a struggling colony propelled into growth through a gold rush. Observe the genius of engineer C.Y. O'Connor as he builds a harbour inside the Swan River. Watch the ships grow in size, and the thousands of lumpers who have to handle them. Note the VIPs and the fancy ship interiors. Appreciate the role of the port, both in peacetime and in wartime, moving men and materials across the world.

Countless journeys have been made to and from Fremantle Port, on trails often no wider the deck of a ship or the width of a railway line. This book contains just some of the stories thus created by that travel.

Welcome to the path to Finisterre - one of the great hidden treasures amongst the many Caminos de Santiago. Only a tiny proportion of pilgrims arriving at Santiago continue on by foot to the 'End-of-Earth' Finis-Terra. The way to Finisterre truly follows the road less travelled. It is a uniquely beautiful route, full of the flavours of Galicia and her deliciously authentic culture. The spirit of St. James is alive and flourishing in the deep river valleys and gently rolling hills that make up her Landscape Temple. Come and experience her untamed beauty and the purity of her Light.

Features:

  • 100 pages paperback in full colour including
  • Overview route planner
  • 5 daily stage maps showing optional routes
  • Map of Cabo Finisterre indicating local walks around the headland
  • 5 Contour guides
  • List of pilgrim hostels and alternative accommodation
  • 5 Town plans
  • Historical notes and places of special interest

Finis-terra translates simply as 'End of the World' and provides a dramatic focal point for one of the most potent Western Vision Quests in the medieval world. It was here that the material and spiritual worlds met. Beyond the horizon was tir-na-nog "the land of eternal youth." Its potency is not lost on the pilgrims that still come here, seeking to reconcile the inner and outer realities in their lives.

This guidebook seeks to find a balance between these worlds by following a practical and mystical path for each stage along the way, endeavouring to pay equal respect to both. It includes notes on the fascinating culture and history of Galicia and a guide to the mythology and the significance of Finisterre as both a modern and ancient pilgrim destination.
