Our Side of the Country: The Story of Victoria by Geoffrey Blainey

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are still excellent.

In this lively book, Geoffrey Blainey traces the history of Victoria since the time Australian Aboriginals could walk across Bass Strait. He tells of the coming of the overlanders with their flocks, the gold rushes, the boom of the 1880s, the bank crashes and what Melbourne was like as the federal capital. (book flap)
