and can use the themes in the book to write my own

TO DO before starting the final task.

Read : “The bay is very important to Abel and his mother Dora

but it looms much larger than just these two people.

• Consider the length of time the bay has existed and what it

has experienced, the events it might have seen. Make a timeline

about what might have happened in it’s past. Think about what

you know about Australia’s history.

• Longboat Bay is saved when Dora lobbies the politicians and

environmentalists to make it a marine park. Imagine what the

future could’ve held for Longboat Bay if there was no one to

fight for it’s future. Research marine parks in Victoria, what is

allowed to occur in these parks, and what is prohibited?”

Your FINAL TASK Blueback is the story of Abel’s journey through life. The book documents the major events in his life and the people and places that are instrumental in making him the person that he is. Central to everything is Abel’s relationship to Longboat Bay.

Abel’s ancestors used the bay in a vastly different way to how Abel and his mother live there.
