Farley Mowat

One of Burgeo's Celebrity Residents

This page is dedicated to one of Burgeo's most famous residents, if you read his book you will understand and come to find why we love the south coat of Newfoundland. Why we are living elsewhere with our hearts at home. You need not be from the south coast to understand our passion, sometimes bitterness to what is happening to a way of life that has changed little over the centuries and with government intrusion, this more simple way of life is being dramatically changed.

 

 

 

An excerpt from Mr. Mowat's book on page 69.
In a conversation with an unnamed fisherman from Francois..,
this passage says it all for many from the whole south coast.
