The fertile Gnowangerup district has drawn successive waves of settlers to exploit its fruits. Each has been richer for the coming: Indigenous Australians, the seafarers, the sandalwood cutter, the sheep king, the wheat farmer, the stud marino breeder and the ex-servicemen who pioneered in the 1950s.
This story highlights the trends, successes and tragedies involved in the history of this versatile region. (book flap)
