Anglican Priest, Jim Taylor moved to the Territory in 1960 with his family to work for the Church Missionary Society. He served as the superintendent of the CMS Mission at Angurugu, Groote Eylandt for nearly 14 years. He then served in other regions of the Territory, retired in 2002 and moved to Denmark, Western Australia.

Jim’s book is mostly about his early days in Groote Eylandt, his friendship with the local people, living in the community to the development of the town – a supermarket, services, an aerial tower, a bridge to mining.
