Round About the Torres Straits provides a detailed and insightful firsthand account of the islands situated between the northern tip of Queensland and New Guinea. Written by Gilbert White, this work offers a vivid portrayal of the region's unique geography, diverse cultures, and the realities of life in a remote maritime frontier during the early 20th century.

The narrative combines personal observation with a record of the missionary efforts established throughout the archipelago. White captures the spirit of the era, documenting the customs, traditions, and social structures of the Torres Strait Islanders, as well as the impact of the pearling industry on the local economy and society. His writing reflects a deep engagement with the landscape and the people, providing a window into a world of transition where traditional ways of life met expanding colonial and religious influences.
