Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Nannine by the Lake is a story of the first township on the Murchison Goldfields, proclaimed by His Excellency Alexander Campbell Onslow, Administrator of the Government in the Colony of Western Australia, and signed by George Shenton, Colonial Secretary, on Thursday, 24 September 1891.

The story tells of the finding of gold, and the later controversy surrounding its discoverers. It describes the little town in its early days and the nearby settlements, small though they were, and tells down-to-earth stories of the inhabitants. The descriptions by newspaper editors of their first trip to Nannine will live forever. The little town no longer exists, but the stories remain as a monument. (back cover)
