"A story of one community's grit, spirt and determination that is sure to inspire. When steel making flourished in Sydney, the communities of Ashby and the North End prospered and Whitney Pier became known as the country's first multicultural melting pot. When steel making died, the communities were left with a different image -- home of the Sydney Tar Ponds. Thanks to the success of the Sydney Tar Ponds and Coke Oven Remediation Project, the community is set to reclaim 240 acres of old still mill lands in the heart of downtown Sydney. The project is doing much more than change an urban blight into a pastoral beauty, it's breathing new life into the community. Are you from the Pier, Dear? is an inspiring story of how community and courage can triumph over the most overwhelming odds. As well as a valuable historic record of steel communities recreating themselves. It is also a case study about reclamation projects -- and how their value cannot be measured in only dollars and cents."--Container.
