“Introduction: Yorke Peninsula is acre for acre, one of the most productive areas of the Commonwealth.  I set out originally to write down the facts relating to its development from virgin scrub to prosperous farms as a straight history, beginning with its discovery by Matthew Flinders and continuing year by year or decade by decade to the present day.”
