In 1979, when this book was published, Collie was not yet 100 years old. Nevertheless, it had already played a significant part in the economic, political, industrial and social history of Western Australia. Often accused of being parochial, Collie was always colourful, often controversial, and mostly optimistic. The pioneers fought against a different type of adversity than the earlier rural settlers.

This history records the trials, tribulations and successes of a mining and timber community, that overcame their adversities with hard work, courage and determination. (book flap)
