Sydney artist and author, Ivana McAlpine, has produced a sumptuously illustrated book chronicling the tragic 19th century true story of Mary Watson, a pioneer settler on Lizard Island.MB met Ivana quite serendipitously when Ivana responded to MB's advertisement in the Manly Daily in 2004. MB was looking for some holiday accommodation located near Aunty's in Balgowlah. Ivana lives very close by in a wonderful home near Fourty Baskets beach, an idyllic location, and was able to rent the ground floor of her lovely home to us.
Ivana's art is superb and the premium quality of this publication make this book a must have, Ivana has self-published a limited number of these books which are for sale for AUD$15.50 each. You can contact myself or Ivana to purchase.
