From blurb on the back: "Brisbane's Southside has sprawled, increased in population and discovered traffic. In many respects, the southern half of this great city has grown up since Beryl Roberts wrote Stories of the Southside, Volume I, some twenty years ago. Stories in this volume are varied and not grouped into themes. Some early historical incidents through to contemporary activities that occurred south of the Brisbane River are explored in this volume. Most of these stories have been written for quite a few years and now, at last, they are published. Enjoy."
