Any author can write glowing words about a city that he is writing about. I do not feel that there is any need to write glowing words about Albury, it does not need them. Albury is a great city in its own right, it has become a great city simply because of the calibre of the people who live in it.
I have found in my travels that most people and children have a fair idea of the history of their own towns and cities, but very few know much about the influences that brought about the establishment of our homeland and ultimately their own towns and cities.
I feel by including facts about such influences it makes a book more interesting and gives the children of large country cities and towns a much broader knowledge of these influences, which in turn foster a great love for our history.
As an author, I naturally hope that you will like my work, but because we are humans, some will like it, some will not, but every item in it, even the signals exchange between the ships of the First Fleet, are authentic and have come from actual records. James McClelland, OAM
