The Passage (1930) is a novel by Australian author Vance Palmer.[1] It won the ALS Gold Medal for Best Novel in 1930.
The novel is set in a small fishing village on the coast of Queensland, known as "The Passage", and centres around the affairs of the Callaways, original pioneers in the area. The tranquility of this unspoilt, idyllic location is endangered by Vic Osborne, a developer who threatens to urbanize "The Passage".
