Focusing on colonial Queensland's influence, the book explores its crucial role in shaping British New Guinea's development. It highlights the strategic significance of the Torres Strait and its steamship routes, alongside the geopolitical rivalry with Germany over New Guinea in 1883. Dillon emphasizes Queensland's determination, which led to the establishment of a government house in Port Moresby in 1888. The narrative underscores the belief among key politicians that New Guinea and nearby Pacific Islands were vital to the future of Australia.
