Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book edges and corners. Light foxing on foredges. Sunning to preliminary and back pages. Some scratches to back cover. Rare copy.

The Goldfields was not an easy place in which to bring up a family but apart from the usual sore eyes and colds we all came on well and all 11 of ours attended Kookynie State School.

Ivan Elliot, whose father operated a brewery at Broadarrow before the turn of the 20th century, was one of the families that pioneered the Kookynie Station and mining country. He later settled at Keysbrook, where he built up a prosperous farm and was one of those who introduced polo to Western Australia.

Elliot's account of life in both districts for 83 years is told using short, related, campfire-style anecdotes, laced with dry bushman-style humour. (back cover)
