While most of us will know what you mean if you ask to meet ‘under the clocks’, few of us know the history of Flinders Street station, and even fewer know the history of the land upon which it stands. Here to dispel myths, educate and delight comes the compelling and comprehensive Narm-Jaap: A Flinders Street Station History by Melissa-Jane Fogarty and Dylan Finney, following on from their first title in the Our Lands series, Tubowgule: A Sydney Opera House History, which was just awarded a 2026 CBCA Notable.
Through lush illustrations and engaging storytelling, Fogarty and Finney send us back in time to an important meeting place for the Kulin nation, through colonisation, industrialisation, and into the present day. This timely and thoroughly-researched book centres on themes of community coming together, and will be the perfect gift for curious guests and local history buffs alike!
