The Pictorial History of Hunters Hill is a new book celebrating the history of Hunters Hill and the sesquicentenary of Hunter's Hill Council. Written by professional historian Linda Emery who grew up in Hunters Hill, the book is rich in historic photographs sourced from the Hunters Hill Historical Society and NSW archives. The loveliness of the suburb's setting has attracted a variety of photographers who captured life on the ferries, the shorelines, the two rivers which run on either side and the unique nature of French settlement. Architecturally the area is outstanding. It has also been host to many private schools, particularly in the nineteenth century. A great number of famous, creative artists, poets and writers have also lived in the area. Surprisingly it was also the municipality where resident action groups began with the famous fight to save Kelly's Bush.
