PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- This carefully written book follows a ‘typical’ Australian country town through two centuries. Starting with the First Nations people on Country, and tracing its history from first Europeans to contemporary times, the story of the town is told in landmark years and events – the gold rush, depression, floods and bushfires, the coming of the railway, war years and boom times. Interesting historical text directed at the reader is combined with fictional characters representing different townsfolk. Ably complemented by Louise Hogan’s intricate and detailed illustrations. An excellent way to distil Australian history! Lindy
