The Jones Island Story by Dallas Gill is a concise 1998 Australian local history paperback that traces the transformation of a tiny coastal outcrop into a lens on the nation’s maritime, industrial and family past. In 104 pages Gill blends engineering feats, business ventures and true-life family accounts, making the book a compact resource for collectors of Australiana and regional historians alike.

This secondhand copy remains solid and readable; light foxing appears on the endpapers and page edges, and about six leaves carry a minor mark, but the binding is tight and the text unmarked. Perfect for readers who value character over perfection and want an affordable entry into Australian local history.

Ideal for young adults, adults or anyone curious about Australia’s coastal heritage, The Jones Island Story slips easily into a day-bag and invites you to discover how one small island reflects the wider Australian experience.
