Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. A presentation copy given by the the Diamond Valley Photographic Society. Has a large inscription and many signatures on front endpages. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good. Includes a separate index.

This absorbing local history spans exploration of the Diamond Valley area in the 1830s to the time of severance of the Valley from the Shire of Heidelberg.
The cast of The Diamond Valley Story includes explorers, early settlers, gold miners, bushrangers, artists, tradesmen, entrepreneurs, railway navvies, and orchardists. The scenes include pioneer homes, floods, fires, sports, schools, social events, law courts, hospitals and pubs.

Many of the photographs included are the work of Albert Jones, a local photographer of Wattle Glen who left a splendid record of people, places and events in the Diamond Valley. (book flap)
