Sydney’s North Shore was – and still largely is - a very special place. It is a unique subset of Sydney’s wider Australian community…a separate civilisation almost, with it own habits, beliefs, and peculiar ways. Sandra Darroch (nee Jobson) was born and grew up there, and was privileged to be familiar with its particular atmosphere and culture (both high and low). So PUT DOWN AT BIRTH is a native’s expose of Sydney’s North Shore. It is not a history book, nor is it a Politically Correct tome. Instead, it gives an insiders view of what is still a little world unto itself.
