One Day in Collie by H W Williams

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

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 faced a different kind of adversity than the earlier rural settlers.

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