Field notes
The narrative reconstructs changing domestic life through surviving features, including a hallway air-raid shelter, a room associated with household help, and accessibility modifications made before the McKinnons arrived in 1983. Its source trail extends beyond prose: readers can open a historical assessment, map record, title-related documents, caveat material, and portraits. The account also places the property in a longer landscape history, from Aboriginal use of the ridges and harbour valleys through timber extraction, orchards, and suburban development.
