This superbly illustrated book is not simply concerned with the development of Station Pier, Melbourne and its predecessor on the site, Railway Pier. Published to commemorate 150 years since the opening of Railway Pier, Welcome and Farewell, weaves in the human stories connected with Station Pier. It is a place where countless migrants arrived in Australia, and from which servicemen and women departed for distant wars. It has played its part in many significant milestones in Victoria’s history. Welcome and Farewell reveals the emotional ties that many Australians feel for this significant site. pp. 206 illusts First Edition Signed by Authors #0119 Maritime
